Penetrating probes in heavy-ion collisions, like jets and photons, are sensitive to the transport coefficients of produced quark-gluon plasma, such as shear bulk viscosity. Quantifying this sensitivity requires a detailed understanding photon emission jet-medium interaction nonequilibrium plasma during hydrodynamic stages collisions. Up now, an has been hindered by instabilities. These instabil...

A calculation of thermal gluon decay shows that this process contributes significantly to strangeness production in a quark-gluon plasma. Our analysis does not support recent claims that this is the dominant process. In our calculations we take into account the resummed form of the transverse and longitudinal parts of the gluon propagator following the Braaten-Pisarski method. Our results are s...

We develop a quasiclassical theory of the synchrotron-like gluon radiation. Our calculations show that the parton energy loss due to the synchrotron gluon emission may be important in the jet quenching phenomenon if the plasma instabilities generate a sufficiently strong chromomagnetic field. Our gluon spectrum disagrees with that obtained by Shuryak and Zahed within the Schwinger’s proper time...
