  • The speed of sound shows a dramatic decrease for T ≲ 2 Tc and approaches 1/3 for T ≫ Tc in agreement with an ultrarelativistic gas of quarks and gluons.

    “The right panel of fig. 8 displays the speed of sound c 2 s [75] clearly showing a dramatic decrease for T ≲ 2 T c and approaching 1 / 3 for T ≫ T c in agreement with an ultrarelativistic gas of quarks and gluons.”

    From Phase Transitions in the Early and Present Universe (2006) · cites this paper as [75]

    Section 3.3 (p. 14) discusses how the transition temperature varies with quark mass, while Section 4 (pp. 22–23) discusses the temperature dependence of the heavy-quark potential. Searches for the speed of sound, its behavior near 2 Tc, and its approach to 1/3 found no passage in our copy addressing those claims. (LLM, conf=0.76)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • A strong decrease in the speed of sound, already above Tc, has been observed in lattice QCD.

    “A strong decrease in the speed of sound, already above T c , has been observed in lattice QCD, see [75, 76] for the most recent data.”

    From Phase Transitions in the Early and Present Universe (2006) · cites this paper as [75]

    Section 3.3 (p. 14) reports how the transition temperature changes with quark mass, not how the speed of sound changes with temperature. Searches for “speed of sound,” “sound velocity,” and related equation-of-state terms found no passage in our copy reporting a decrease above Tc. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
