Properties of the QGP created in heavy-ion collisions
Abstract
We review the properties of the strongly interacting quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at finite temperature T and baryon chemical potential μB as created in heavy-ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies. The description of the strongly interacting (non-perturbative) QGP in equilibrium is based on the effective propagators and couplings from the Dynamical QuasiParticle Model (DQPM) that is matched to reproduce the equation-of-state of the partonic system above the deconfinement temperature TC from lattice QCD. Based on a microscopic transport description of heavy-ion collisions we discuss which observables are sensitive to the QGP creation and its properties.
