How free is the quark-gluon-plasma?
Abstract
A phenomenological approach to confinement in a quark-gluonplasma is developed and studied. Asymptotic freedom appears to be reached at much higher densities than assumed so far, proving that the characteristics of the phase transition depend sensitively on the form of the confinement mechanism.
