QCD Thermodynamics at Intermediate Coupling
Nan Su
The weak-coupling expansion of the QCD free energy is known to order g_s^6log{g_s}, however, the resulting series is poorly convergent at phenomenologically relevant temperatures.…
Non-Abelian plasma instabilities: SU(3) vs. SU(2)
Andreas Ipp, Anton Rebhan, Michael Strickland
We present the first 3+1 dimensional simulations of non-Abelian plasma instabilities in gauge-covariant Boltzmann-Vlasov equations for the QCD gauge group SU(3) as well as for SU(4…
Non-boost-invariant anisotropic dynamics
Mauricio Martinez, Michael Strickland
We study the non-boost-invariant evolution of a quark-gluon plasma subject to large early-time momentum-space anisotropies. Rather than using the canonical hydrodynamical expansion…
Hard-thermal-loop QCD Thermodynamics
Michael Strickland, Jens O. Andersen, Lars E. Leganger +1
Naively resummed perturbative approximations to the thermodynamic functions of QCD do not converge at phenomenologically relevant temperatures. Here we review recent results of a t…
NNLO hard-thermal-loop thermodynamics for QCD
Jens O. Andersen, Lars E. Leganger, Michael Strickland +1
We calculate the thermodynamic functions of a quark-gluon plasma for general N_c and N_f to three-loop order using hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory. At this order, all the ult…
Dissipative Dynamics of Highly Anisotropic Systems
Mauricio Martinez, Michael Strickland
In this paper we present a method to improve the description of 0+1 dimensional boost invariant dissipative dynamics in the presence of large momentum-space anisotropies. We do thi…
