Hard-thermal-loop resummed pressure of a degenerate quark-gluon plasma
نویسندگان
چکیده
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;.

Soft photon production rate in resummed perturbation theory of high temperature QCD
We calculate the production rate of soft real photons from a hot quark-gluon plasma using Braaten-Pisarski's perturbative resummation method. To leading order in the QCD coupling constant 9 we find a logarithmically divergent result for photon energies of order 9T, where T is the plasma temperature. This divergent behaviour is due to unscreened mass singularities in the effective hard thermal l...

Our current knowledge of the quark-gluon plasma in thermodynamical equilibrium is reviewed. The phase diagram of strongly interacting matter is discussed, with emphasis on the quark-hadron phase transition and the color-superconducting phases of quark matter. Lattice QCD results on the order of the phase transition, the thermodynamical functions, the heavy quark free energy, mesonic spectral fu...

The generating functional for hard thermal loops in Quantum Chromodynamics is important in setting up a resummed perturbation theory. I review how this functional is related to the eikonal for a Chern-Simons gauge theory, and using an auxiliary field, to the gauged Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten action. The induced current due to hard thermal loops, properly incorporating damping effects, is also b...
متن کاملHard-thermal-loop Resummation of the Free Energy of a Hot Gluon Plasma
We calculate the free energy of a hot gluon plasma to leading order in hardthermal-loop-improved perturbation theory. Effects associated with screening, gluonic quasiparticles, and Landau damping are resummed to all orders. The ultraviolet divergences generated by the hard-thermal-loop propagator corrections can be cancelled by temperature-independent counterterms. The deviation of the hard-the...
