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…
What is the simplest effective approach to hot QCD thermodynamics?
M. Laine
The dimensionally reduced action is believed to provide for a theoretically consistent and numerically precise effective description of the thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma…
Finite baryon density effects on gauge field dynamics
D. Bodeker, M. Laine
We discuss the effective action for QCD gauge fields at finite temperatures and densities, obtained after integrating out the hardest momentum scales from the system. We show that…
A remark on higher dimension induced domain wall defects in our world
C. P. Korthals Altes, M. Laine
There has been recent interest in new types of topological defects arising in models with compact extra dimensions. We discuss in this context the old statement that if only SU(N)…
Static correlation lengths in QCD at high temperature and finite density
O. Philipsen
A brief review is given of the sign problem in finite density lattice QCD and various attempts to overcome it. To date there is still no solution to this problem which would work f…
