Hard Thermal Loops in a Moving Plasma and a Magnetic Mass Term

Abstract

We consider the hard thermal loops of QCD for a moving quark-gluon plasma. Generalizing from this we suggest a candidate for the magnetic mass term. This term may also be useful in understanding the mass gap of three-dimensional non-Abelian gauge theories.
