Damping rates for moving particles in hot QCD.
نویسنده
چکیده
Using a program of perturbative resummation I compute the damping rates for fields at nonzero spatial momentum to leading order in weak coupling in hot QCD. Sum rules for spectral densities are used to simplify the calculations. For massless fields the damping rate has an apparent logarithmic divergence in the infrared limit, which is cut off by the screening of static magnetic fields (“magnetic mass”). This demonstrates how at high temperature even perturbative quantities are sensitive to nonperturbative phenomenon.

A Slavnov-Taylor identity and equality of damping rates for static transverse and longitudinal gluons in hot QCD
A Slavnov-Taylor identity is derived for the gluon polarization tensor in hot QCD. We evaluate its implications for damping of gluonic modes in the plasma. Applying the identity to next to the leading order in hard-thermal-loop resummed perturbation theory, we derive the expected equality of damping rates for static transverse and longitudinal (soft) gluons. This is of interest also in view of ...
متن کاملUltrasoft Quark Damping in Hot QCD
We determine the quark damping rates in the context of next-to-leading order hard-thermal-loop summed perturbation of high-temperature QCD where weak coupling is assumed. The quarks are ultrasoft. Three types of divergent behavior are encountered: infrared, light-cone and at specific points determined by the gluon energies. The infrared divergence persists and is logarithmic whereas the two oth...
متن کاملA Potential Infrared Problem with the Damping Rates for Gluons with Soft Momentum in Hot Qcd
We calculate the damping rate γl for longitudinal gluons with zero momentum in finite high temperature QCD and show that some of its contributing terms are infrared divergent. This is in contrast with the expectation that this damping rate is to be equal to the corresponding one γt for transverse gluons which is known to be finite. Our calculation was motivated by the fact that similar divergen...

We compute the damping rates of one–particle excitations in a cold ultrarelativistic plasma to leading order in the coupling constant e for three types of interaction: Yukawa coupling to a massless scalar boson, QED and QCD. Damping rates of charged particles in QED and QCD are of order e3μ, while damping rates of other particles are of order e4μ or e4μ log(1/e). We find that the damping rate o...

We calculate the relaxation time self-consistently to study the damping of collective color modes and the color conductivity in a QGP by deriving self-consistent equations for the damping rates of gluons and quarks to leading order QCD by TFD including a chemical potential for quarks. We show that the damping rates are not sensitive to the chemical potential whereas color conductivity is enhanc...
