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

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?
