Perfect fluid expands so that locally Seff is constant.

Can Neff and T be reduced by that?

Number reduction (coalescence)

What do we conclude?

• Adiabatic cooling with number reduction to its 1 / 2 . . . 1 / 3

• Most of the reduction and cooling happens relatively short, the volume grows with a factor of 3 . . . 30

• N / S is constant for an ideal gas eos of type p ~ Tª

• Lower pressure can be achieved by higher mass ideal gas

perturbative?

Idea: Continous mass distribution

• Quasiparticle picture has one definite mass, which is temperature dependent: M(T)

• We look for a distribution w(m), which may be temperature dependent

Why distributed mass?

Mass gap estimates due

to Markov inequality

Bounds on integrated mdf

• Markov, Tshebysheff, Tshernoff, generalized

• Applied to w(m): bounds from p

• Applied to w(m;µ,T): bounds from e+p– Boltzmann: mass gap at T=0– Bose: mass gap at T=0– Fermi: no mass gap at T=0

• Lattice data

Particular inequalities

Markov

Particular inequalities

Minimize the log of this upper bound in λ,

get the best estimate!

General Markov inequality

Extreme value probability estimate (upper bound)

with variable substitutionOriginal Markov: g=id, f=id

General Markov inequality

Relies on the following property of the

function g(t):

i.e.: g() is a positive, montonic growing function.

What if a gap shows in the mass-distributions?

• Both distributions reproduce pion or kaon spectra fairly well at RHIC energies but the one without a gap (magenta) can not be fitted to lattice-QCD data.

Properties of quark matter from fitting quark-recombined hadron spectra

• T (quark) = 140 … 180 MeV

• q (quark) = 1.22

power = 4.5 (same as for e+e- spectra)

• v (quark) = 0 … 0.5

• Pion: near coalescence (q-1) value

Summary

• Spectral coalescence of Tsallis distributions

• Distributed mass quasi quarks from QCD eos

• Restrictions from inequalities on the pressure

• Pion spectra feel the power (q-1)

• Antiproton spectra feel the transverse flow

• Kaon spectra are insensitive but to T

• What about hyperons / antihyperons?
