Partial pressures of hadron families in lattice QCD

ORAL

Abstract

Lattice QCD simulations provide the pressure of QCD as a function of the temperature. In the low-temperature regime, the thermodynamics can be understood in terms of a gas of non-interacting hadrons and resonances, but the contribution of the single hadronic species cannot be easily isolated [1]. We propose linear combinations of susceptibilities of conserved charges, that isolate the contribution of hadrons to the pressure of QCD according to their baryon number B, electric charge Q and strangeness S content. We test the validity of these linear combinations in the Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model and compare them to available lattice QCD results.
