Expanding Quark-Gluon Plasmas: Transverse Flow, Chemical Equilibration and Electromagnetic Radiation
D. K. Srivastava, M. G. Mustafa, B. Müller
We investigate the chemical equilibration of the parton distributions in collisions of two heavy nuclei. We use initial conditions obtained from a self-screened parton cascade calc…
Quantum Fluctuations and Dynamical Chaos: An Effective Potential Approach
Sergei G. Matinyan, Berndt Müller
We discuss the intimate connection between the chaotic dynamics of a classical field theory and the instability of the one-loop effective action of the associated quantum field the…
Classical Lattice Gauge Fields with Hard Thermal Loops
C. R. Hu, B. Muller
We propose a formulation of the long-distance dynamics of gauge theories at finite temperature on a lattice in Minkowski space, including the effects of hard thermal loops on the d…
Thermalization and Lyapunov Exponents in the Yang-Mills-Higgs Theory
U. Heinz, C. Hu, S. Leupold +2
We investigate thermalization processes occurring at different time scales in the Yang-Mills-Higgs system at high temperatures. We determine the largest Lyapunov exponent associate…
Chemical Equilibration of an Expanding Quark-Gluon Plasma
Dinesh Kumar Srivastava, Munshi Golam Mustafa, Berndt Müller
The chemical equilibration of the parton distribution in collisions of two heavy nuclei at the CERN Large Hadron Collider is investigated. Initial conditions are obtained from a se…
Symmetry Restoration in Gauge Boson Wave Packet Collisions in Yang-Mills-Higgs Theory
C. R. Hu, S. Matinyan, B. Muller
We investigate the restoration of spontaneously broken gauge symmetry in collisions of gauge boson wave packets in the SU(2) Higgs model.
The Search for the Quark-Gluon Plasma
John W. Harris, Berndt Müller
We provide an overview of the present understanding of the transition from hadrons to a quark-gluon plasma, its signatures, and the experimental results so far. We discuss results…
