Deriving effective transport equations for non-Abelian plasmas
Daniel F. Litim, Cristina Manuel
Within classical transport theory, an approach is presented to derive systematically effective collision terms and noise sources for effective kinetic equations of non-Abelian plas…

Hard Thermal Loops in the Electroweak Theory
Cristina Manuel
We derive a thermal effective action for soft fields in the broken phase of the electroweak theory in the limit of a strongly interacting Higgs sector. This action is just the prop…

Hard Thermal Loops in Chiral Perturbation Theory
Cristina Manuel
It is shown how the hard thermal loop approximation can be used in chiral perturbation theory to study some thermal properties of Goldstone bosons. Hard thermal effects are first s…
