Qcd Effective Actions at High Temperature and the Quasiparticle Picture
نویسنده
چکیده
Transport theory is an efficient approach to derive an effective theory for the soft modes of QCD at high temperature. It is known that the leading order operators of this theory can be obtained from (semi-classical) kinetic equations of quasiparticles carrying classical or quantum color charges. Higher order operators can also be obtained. Discrepancy between these quasiparticle models starts for dimension 4 operators, which converge in the limit of high dimensional color representations. These models are reviewed and compared.

Massive gluons and quarks and the equation of state obtained from SU(3) lattice QCD
We analyze recent results of SU(3) lattice QCD calculations with a phenomenological parametrization for the quark-gluon plasma equation of state based on a quasi-particle picture with massive quarks and gluons. At high temperature we obtain a good fit to the lattice data using perturbative thermal quark and gluon masses from an improved HTL scheme. At temperatures close to the confinement phase...

Magnetic quasi-particles in hot QCD predict Casimir scaling for the tension σ of spatial Wilson loops. Recently this scaling has been verified on the lattice to 1–2% precision. We review how spatial loops tell us about the nature of the plasma state. The strong first order nature for more than five colours and the fast drop of the topological susceptibilty at Tc found in simulations of hot quen...
متن کاملHard Thermal Loops from Transport Processes
Because the running coupling g(T ) of QCD decreases as a function of temperature T , the SU(3) color gauge theory becomes weakly coupled in the high temperature limit. Numerical simulations of the lattice gauge theory with dynamical quarks have shown that the equation of state ǫ(T ) makes a transition from the low-temperature phase, where the effective degrees of freedom are hadrons, to a high ...

We review our quasiparticle model for the thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter at high temperature, and its extrapolation to non-zero chemical potential. Some implications of the resulting soft equation of state of quark matter at low temperatures are pointed out.

We consider the problem of Bose condensation of charged pions in QCD at finite isospin chemical potential μI using the O(4)-symmetric linear sigma model as an effective field theory for twoflavor QCD. Using the 2PI 1/N-expansion, we determine the quasiparticle masses as well as the pion and chiral condensates as a function of the temperature and isospin chemical potential in the chiral limit an...
