QCD equation of state from the lattice
Abstract
We calculate the QCD equation of state with 2+1 staggered lattice flavors and a physical pion mass. We present precision data on the trace anomaly and pressure based on simulations at Nt = 6,8 and 10. These results are confirmed by Nt = 12 simulations at three temperatures. Detailed results can be found in [arXiv:1007.2580v2].
