Self-consistent quasiparticle model for 2, 3, and (2+1) flavor QGP

The quasiparticle model of quark gluon plasma is the statistical mechanics of noninteracting particles with medium dependent mass related to plasma frequency, which is proposed to describe the thermodynamics of the medium itself. At the relativistic limit, the plasma frequency depends on the number density and temperature. The number density is a thermodynamic quantity of the medium which in turn depends on plasma frequency. Hence, one needs to solve this problem self-consistently instead of using perturbative expressions for plasma frequency. Here we carry out such self-consistent calculations using our recently developed new formulations of the quasiparticle model. By adjusting a single parameter for each system, a remarkably good fit to results of lattice simulation of quantum chromodynamics is obtained for 2, 3, and (2+1) flavor quark gluon plasma systems, first, with zero chemical potential. Then, it is extended to systems with finite chemical potential and fits very well to the lattice results without any new parameter.
