Sommerfeld effect in heavy quark chemical equilibration
D. Bodeker, M. Laine
The chemical equilibration of heavy quarks in a quark-gluon plasma proceeds via annihilation or pair creation. For temperatures T much below the heavy quark mass M, when kineticall…

Heavy quark chemical equilibration rate as a transport coefficient
D. Bodeker, M. Laine
Motivated by indications that heavy (charm and bottom) quarks interact strongly at temperatures generated in heavy ion collision experiments, we suggest a non-perturbative definiti…

Thermal production of ultrarelativistic right-handed neutrinos: Complete leading-order results
Denis Besak, Dietrich Bodeker
The thermal production of relativistic right-handed Majorana neutrinos is of importance for models of thermal leptogenesis in the early Universe. Right-handed neutrinos can be prod…
