The QCD Equation of State in Small Systems
W. A. Horowitz🇿🇦 · Alexander Rothkopf🇳🇴
Abstract
We present first results on finite system size corrections to the equation of state, trace anomaly, and speed of sound for two model systems: 1) free, massless scalar theory and 2) quenched QCD with periodic boundary conditions (PBC). We further present work-in-progress results for quenched QCD with Dirichlet boundary conditions.
