Non-equilibrium attractor in high-temperature QCD plasmas
Dekrayat Almaalol, Aleksi Kurkela, Michael Strickland
We establish the existence of a far-from-equilibrium attractor in weakly-coupled gauge theory undergoing one-dimensional Bjorken expansion. We demonstrate that the resulting far-fr…
Spectral function for overoccupied gluodynamics from classical lattice simulations
K. Boguslavski, A. Kurkela, T. Lappi +1
We study the spectral properties of an overoccupied gluonic system far from equilibrium. Using classical Yang-Mills simulations and linear response theory, we determine the statist…
Picturing perturbative parton cascades in QCD matter
Aleksi Kurkela, Urs Achim Wiedemann
Based on parametric reasoning, we provide a simple dynamical picture of how a perturbative parton cascade, in interaction with a QCD medium, fills phase space as a function of time…
Approach to equilibrium in weakly coupled nonabelian plasmas
Aleksi Kurkela, Egang Lu
We follow the time evolution of nonabelian gauge bosons from far-from-equilibrium initial conditions to thermal equilibrium by numerically solving an effective kinetic equation tha…
Cold Quark Matter
Aleksi Kurkela, Paul Romatschke, Aleksi Vuorinen
We perform an O(alpha_s^2) perturbative calculation of the equation of state of cold but dense QCD matter with two massless and one massive quark flavor, finding that perturbation…
