Title: Equation of state in 2 + 1 flavor QCD at high temperatures

Journal Article · · Physical Review D

We calculate the Equation of State at high temperatures in 2+1 flavor QCD using the highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) action. We study the lattice spacing dependence of the pressure at high temperatures using lattices with temporal extent N(tau) = 6, 8, 10 and 12 and perform continuum extrapolations. We also give a continuum estimate for the Equation of State up to temperatures T = 2 GeV, which are then compared with results of the weak-coupling calculations. We find a reasonably good agreement with the weak-coupling calculations at the highest temperatures.
