We present an effective model for the QCD EoS, taking into account
chiral symmetry restoration as well as the deconfinement phase
transition. For the hadronic part we apply a SUf(3) parity
doublet model with quarks introduced in anology to the PNJL model. The
correct asymptotic degrees of freedom at the high and low temperature
limits are included (quarks ↔ hadrons). As expected
from lattice calculations, the model shows a rapid crossover for both
order parameters at µB=0. We compare thermodynamic properties of
the model at µB=0 which are in qualitative agreement with lattice
data, while apparent quantitative differences can be attributed to
hadronic contributions. Our model reproduces a first-order liquid gas
phase transition as expected, and exhibits another first order chiral
phase transition at high densities terminated by a critical
endpoint. The deconfinement transition appears as a very wide
crossover in which heavily medium modified
hadrons coexist with free quarks.
Furthermore,the full baryonic resonance spectrum is implemented and we
study the impact of a varying vector coupling strength on the phase
diagram, i.e. the location of the phase transition and the existence
of a critical point. We present quark number susceptibilities and
compare them to lattice results.
