HTL approach to the viscosity of quark plasma

Abstract

The quark viscosity in the quark gluon plasma is evaluated in HTL approximation. The different contributions to the viscosity arising from the various components of the quark spectral function are discussed. The calculation is extended to finite values of the chemical potential.
