Abstract

A model for the quark-plasma phase at finite temperature and density is presented. The assumption that the effective interaction among quarks and gluons increases as density decreases is shown to lead naturally to a critical temperature around 220-300 MeV at zero chemical potential. The interpretation of this model in terms of phenomena expected in QCD is discussed.
