Dynamical screening in a quark gluon plasma

چکیده
We calculate the screening potential of a fast parton moving through a quark-gluon plasma in the framework of semi-classical transport theory. We found an anisotropic potential showing a minimum in the direction of the parton velocity. Possible consequences of this potential on binary states in a quark-gluon plasma are discussed. Screening of charges in a plasma is an important collective effect in plasma physics. In a classical isotropic and homogeneous plasma the screening potential of a point-like test charge Q at rest is modified from Coulomb potential into a Yukawa potential [1] as

Modeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...
متن کاملJ/ψ Suppression in Nucleus-nucleus Collisions
At high temperatures, strongly interacting matter becomes a plasma of deconfined quarks and gluons. In statistical QCD, deconfinement and the properties of the resulting quark-gluon plasma can be investigated by studying the in-medium behaviour of heavy quark bound states. In high energy nuclear interactions, quarkonia probe different aspects of the medium formed in the collision. So, we first ...
متن کاملDynamical Screening and Radiative Parton Energy Loss in a Quark-gluon Plasma
Dynamical screening in the magnetic part of the one-gluon exchange interaction is included in the study of radiative energy loss of a fast parton propagating inside a quark-gluon plasma. As a result the final radiative energy loss is about twice as large as when only the electric part of one-gluon exchange interaction is considered. A non-perturbative magnetic screening mass is also used in the...
متن کاملPhysics of the Quark-gluon Plasma
Some features of the high temperature gluonic matter, such as the breakdown of the fundamental group symmetry by the kinetic energy, the screening of test quarks by some unusual gluon states and the explanation of the absence of isolated quarks in the vacuum without the help of infinities are presented in this talk. Special attention is paid to separate the dynamical input inferred from the num...
متن کاملJ/q/SUPPRESSION BY QUARK-GLUON PLASMA FORMATION ~
If high energy heavy ion collisions lead to the formation of a hot quark-gluon plasma, then colour screening prevents ce binding in the deconfined interior of the interaction region. To study this effect, the temperature dependence of the screening radius, as obtained from lattice QCD, is compared with the J/~' radius calculated in charmonium models. The feasibility to detect this effect clearl...
