Kinetic Description of a Finite Temperature Meson Gas
  A transport model based on the mean free path approach for an interacting meson system at finite temperatures is discussed. A transition to a quark gluon plasma is included within the framework of the bag model. We discuss some calculations for a pure meson gas where the Hagedorn limiting temperature is reproduced when including the experimentally observed resonances. Next we include the possibility for a QGP formation based on the MIT bag model. The results obtained compare very well with Lattice QCD calculations. In particular the cross over to the QGP at about 175 MeV temperature is nicely reproduced.
