Abstract
We estimate the squared speed of sound for the hot and dense QCD states formed in ion collisions at very high energies by exploring the implications of small-bounded and geometry effects in the String Percolation Model. The squared sound velocity shows signals of a local minimum (knee point) below the critical temperature consistent with the softest point in the equation of state and the onset of quark deconfinement that characterizes the quark-gluon plasma phase transition.
