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…
UV Cascade in Classical Yang-Mills via Kinetic Theory
Mark C. Abraao York, Aleksi Kurkela, Egang Lu +1
We show that classical Yang-Mills theory with statistically homogeneous and isotropic initial conditions has a kinetic description and approaches a scaling solution at late times.…
Next-to-leading order thermal photon production in a weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma
Jacopo Ghiglieri, Juhee Hong, Aleksi Kurkela +3
We compute the next-to-leading order O(g) correction to the thermal photon production rate in a QCD plasma. The NLO contributions can be expressed in terms of gauge invariant conde…
The Bulk Viscosity of a Pion Gas
Egang Lu, Guy D. Moore
We compute the bulk viscosity of a gas of pions at temperatures below the QCD crossover temperature, for the physical value of pion mass, to lowest order in chiral perturbation the…
