Description

We investigate lattic data for the thermodynamical functions of the SU (3) pure gauge theory and propose a phenomenological equation of state which is able to reproduce these data. Our results suggest that even at high temperature only gluons with large moments are deconfined, while gluons with small momenta cluster into glueball states. Therefore, the gluon plasma is not an ideal gas of gluons, but rather a 'gluon-cluster' plasma. (orig.)
