Abstract:
We discuss a two-component liquid model for the quark–gluon plasma. We show that the model explains the basic experimental observations of the plasma properties naturally on the qualitative level. From the standpoint of the dynamics, the model assumes the existence of an effective scalar field with a nonzero vacuum expectation value. The hypothesis that such a condensate exists is supported by lattice data. We formulate the kind of lattice data that would yield a possible verification of the model.
