Abstract: (Elsevier)
Using percolation theory to determine transition points, we show that strongly interacting bulk systems exhibit hadronic matter behaviour for densities 0.48 n 0 ⩽ n ⩽ 14.0 n 0 and quark matter behavior for n ⩾ 3.84 n 0 , where n 0 = 0.17 fm −3 is nuclear density. For 3.84 n 0 ⩽ n ⩽ 14.0 n 0 , we find a coexistence region of the two phases.
