On the imaginary part of the next-to-leading-order static gluon self-energy in an anisotropic plasma
M. E. Carrington, A. Rebhan
Using hard-loop (HL) effective theory for an anisotropic non-Abelian plasma, which even in the static limit involves nonvanishing HL vertices, we calculate the imaginary part of th…
The fermion mass at next-to-leading order in the HTL effective theory
M. E. Carrington, A. Gynther, D. Pickering
The calculation of the real part of a quasi-particle dispersion relation at next-to-leading order in the hard thermal loop effective theory is a very difficult problem. Even though…
Energetic di-leptons from the Quark Gluon Plasma
M. E. Carrington, A. Gynther, P. Aurenche
In this paper we study the production of energetic di-leptons. We calculate the rate for 2 2 processes. The log term is obtained analytically and the constant term is calcula…
Leading Order QED Electrical Conductivity from the 3PI Effective Action
M. E. Carrington, E. Kovalchuk
In this article we study the electrical conductivity in QED using the resummed 3PI effective action. We work to 3-loop order in the effective action. We show that the resulting exp…
QED Electrical Conductivity using the 2PI Effective Action
M. E. Carrington, E. Kovalchuk
In this article we calculate the electrical conductivity in QED using the 2PI effective action. We use a modified version of the usual 2PI effective action which is defined with re…
The soft fermion dispersion relation at next-to-leading order in hot QED
M. E. Carrington
We study next-to-leading order contributions to the soft static fermion dispersion relation in hot QED. We derive an expression for the complete next-to-leading order contribution…
