Nucleation Rate of Hadron Bubbles in Baryon-Free Quark-Gluon Plasma

Abstract

We evaluate the factor $\kappa$ appearing in Langer's expression for the nucleation rate extended to the case of hadron bubbles forming in zero baryon number cooled quark-gluon plasma. We consider both the absence and presence of viscosity and show that viscous effects introduce only small changes in the value of $\kappa$
