Thermal photon production rate from non-equilibrium quantum field theory
In the framework of closed time path thermal field theory we investigate the production rate of hard thermal photons from a QCD plasma away from equilibrium. Dynamical screening provides a finite rate for chemically non-equilibrated distributions of quarks and gluons just as it does in the equilibrium situation. Pinch singularities are shown to be absent in the real photon rate even away from e...
متن کاملProgress in nonequilibrium quantum field theory III
We review recent developments and open questions for the description of nonequilibrium quantum fields, continuing hep-ph/0302210 and hep-ph/0410330 [ 1].
متن کاملProgress in Nonequilibrium Quantum Field Theory
Nonequilibrium quantum fields play a central role in various areas of physics, such as cosmology, ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, or condensed matter physics. A timely example in cosmology concerns the issue of reheating of the early universe: At the end of inflation the universe is left in a frozen albeit very high-energy state, very different from the subsequent hot universe observed...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Aspects of Quantum Field Theory
We have developed a method for extracting equilibrium observables from non-equilibrium simulations by rapidly changing the temperature and recording the subsequent evolution of the Polyakov loop. Both nucleation and spinodal decomposition are observed to occur. In the latter case the Polyakov loop correlation function shows exponential growth for wavenumbers less than or equal to the critical w...
متن کاملNonequilibrium quantum impurities: from entropy production to information theory.
Nonequilibrium steady-state currents, unlike their equilibrium counterparts, continuously dissipate energy into their physical surroundings leading to entropy production and time-reversal symmetry breaking. This Letter discusses these issues in the context of quantum impurity models. We use simple thermodynamic arguments to define the rate of entropy production sigma and show that sigma has a s...
