Plasmons, plasminos and Landau damping in a quasiparticle model of the quark-gluon plasma
نویسنده
چکیده
A phenomenological quasiparticle model is surveyed for 2+1 quark flavors and compared with recent lattice QCD results. Emphasis is devoted to the effects of plasmons, plasminos and Landau damping. It is shown that thermodynamic bulk quantities, known at zero chemical potential, can uniquely be mapped towards nonzero chemical potential by means of a thermodynamic consistency condition and a stationarity condition.

Hard-thermal-loop resummed pressure of a degenerate quark-gluon plasma
We compute the pressure of a finite-density quark-gluon plasma at zero temperature to leading order in hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory, which includes the fermionic excitations and Landau damping. The result is compared with the weak-coupling expansion for finite positive chemical potential &mgr; through order alpha(2)(s) and with a quasiparticle model with a mass depending on &mgr;.
متن کاملHard-thermal-loop Resummation of the Free Energy of a Hot Quark-Gluon Plasma
The quark contribution to the free energy of a hot quark-gluon plasma is calculated to leading order in hard-thermal-loop (HTL) perturbation theory. This method selectively resums higher order corrections associated with plasma effects, such as screening, quasiparticles, and Landau damping. Comparing to the weak-coupling expansion of QCD, the error in the one-loop HTL free energy is of order αs...

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 کاملHard-thermal-loop Resummation of the Thermodynamics of a Hot Gluon Plasma
We calculate the thermodynamic functions of a hot gluon plasma to leading order in hard-thermal-loop (HTL) perturbation theory. Effects associated with screening, gluon quasiparticles, and Landau damping are resummed to all orders. The ultraviolet divergences generated by the HTL propagator corrections can be cancelled by a counterterm that depends on the thermal gluon mass parameter. The HTL t...
متن کاملColor plasma oscillation in strangelets
At extremely high temperature and/or baryon density, quark-gluon plasmas [1] are considered to be energetically favorable as compared with hadronic matter. Such extreme conditions prevent us from confirming the presence of quark-gluon plasmas, although it is expected in interiors of neutron stars and in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The intriguing possibility that strange quark matter...
