Coupled fermion and boson production in a strong background mean-field
D. V. Vinnik, R. Alkofer, S. M. Schmidt +3
We derive quantum kinetic equations for fermion and boson production starting from a phi^4 Lagrangian with minimal coupling to fermions. Decomposing the scalar field into a mean-fi…
A Dynamical Eta'-Mass from an Infrared Enhanced Gluon Exchange
Lorenz von Smekal, Almut Mecke, Reinhard Alkofer
The pseudo-scalar flavor-singlet meson mixes with two gluons. A dimensional argument by Kogut and Susskind shows that this can screen the Goldstone pole of the chiral limit in this…
Solving the Gluon Dyson-Schwinger Equation in the Mandelstam Approximation
Andreas Hauck, Lorenz von Smekal, Reinhard Alkofer
Truncated Dyson-Schwinger equations represent finite subsets of the equations of motion for Green's functions. Solutions to these non-linear integral equations can account for non-…
