Ultrarelativistic Electron-Positron Plasma
Markus H. Thoma
Ultrarelativistic electron-positron plasmas can be produced in high-intensity laser fields and play a role in various astrophysical situations. Their properties can be calculated u…
Dielectric Functions and Dispersion Relations of Ultra-Relativistic Plasmas with Collisions
M. E. Carrington, T. Fugleberg, D. Pickering +1
In the present paper we calculate the dielectric functions of an ultra-relativistic plasma, such as an electron-positron or a quark-gluon plasma. We use classical transport theory…
Gluon Condensate and Non-Perturbative Quark-Photon Vertex
M. G. Mustafa, A. Schaefer, M. H. Thoma
We evaluate the quark-photon vertex non-perturbatively taking into account the gluon condensate at finite temperature. This vertex is related to the previously derived effective qu…
Quark Dispersion Relation and Dilepton Production in the Quark-Gluon Plasma
Andre Peshier, Markus H. Thoma
Under very general assumptions we show that the quark dispersion relation in the quark-gluon plasma is given by two collective branches, of which one has a minimum at a non-vanishi…
Gluon condensate, quark propagation, and dilepton production in the quark-gluon plasma
M. G. Mustafa, A. Sch"afer, M. H. Thoma
A calculation of the thermal quark propagator is presented taking the gluon condensate above the critical temperature into account. The quark dispersion relation and the dilepton p…
Radiative Energy-Loss of Heavy Quarks in a Quark-Gluon Plasma
M. G. Mustafa, D. Pal, D. K. Srivastava +1
We estimate the radiative energy-loss of heavy quarks, produced from the initial fusion of partons, while propagating in a quark-gluon plasma which may be formed in the wake of rel…
