Critical temperature of deconfinement in a constrained space using a bag model at vanishing baryon density
The geometry of fireballs in relativistic heavy ion collisions is approximated by a static box, which is infinite in two directions while finite in the other direction. The critical temperature of deconfinement phase transition is calculated explicitly in the MIT bag model at vanishing baryon density. It is found that the critical temperature shifts to a value higher than that in an unconstrained space.
