Introduction
Theoretical models of quark-gluon plasma have been a subject of intense research in the field of high-energy nuclear physics. Quark-gluon plasma is a state of matter that is believed to have existed in the early universe, shortly after the Big Bang. It is a hot and dense state of matter where quarks and gluons, the fundamental building blocks of protons and neutrons, are no longer confined within individual particles but instead move freely. Understanding the properties of quark-gluon plasma is crucial for our understanding of the early universe and the behavior of matter under extreme conditions.
