Phys. Rev. C 69, 047901 (2004) [4 pages]Thermodynamic consistency of the equation of state of strongly interacting matterReceived 12 December 2003; published 13 April 2004 Addressing strongly interacting matter in the region of energy density where the hadronic gas phase coexists with the quark-gluon plasma phase, we discuss how thermodynamic consistency can be used to constrain the equation of state for uniform matter. We illustrate the method by constructing a Tc-dependent family of thermodynamically consistent equations of state based on simple spline interpolations between the gas and plasma phases. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
