Transverse momentum spectra and elliptic flow: Hydrodynamics with QCD-based equations of state

Abstract

We present a family of equations of state within a quasiparticle model adjusted to lattice QCD and study the impact on azimuthal flow anisotropies and transverse momentum spectra within hydrodynamic simulations for heavy-ion collisions at energies relevant for LHC.Comment: Aug. 2007. 3 pp. Talk given at the Focus Week of the workshop Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC - Last Call for Predictions, Genf, Switzerland, 29 May - 2 June 200
