A Phenomenological Equation of State of Strongly Interacting Matter with First-Order Phase Transitions and Critical Points

An extension of the relativistic density functional approach to the equation of state for strongly interacting matter is suggested that generalizes a recently developed modified excluded-volume mechanism to the case of temperature- and density-dependent available-volume fractions. A parametrization...
