Abstract

We argue that clustering of color sources, leading to the percolation transition, may be the way to achieve deconfinement in heavy ion collisions. The critical density for percolation is related to the effective critical temperature of the thermal bath asociated to the presence of strong color fields inside the percolating cluster. We find that the temperature is rapidity, centrality and energy dependent. We emphasize the similarities of percolation of strings with color glass condensate.
