29. Recent lattice QCD simulations with (2+1)-flavor dynamical quarks suggest crossover for the transition between the hadronic phase and the quark-gluon plasma at zero chemical potential [23]. In this article, however, the bag equation of state, which shows the first-order phase transition, is employed for simplicity.

40. Our model assumes instantaneous hadronization and semileptonic decay once the freeze-out condition is satisfied. Heavy quarks starting outside and crossing the QGP fireball remain to be investigated.
