Real--time dynamics of a hot Yang-Mills theory: a numerical analysis
J. Ambjorn, K. N. Anagnostopoulos, A. Krasnitz
We discuss recent results obtained from simulations of high temperature, classical, real time dynamics of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory at temperatures of the order of the electroweak sc…
Coherent gluon production in very high energy heavy ion collisions
Alex Krasnitz, Yasushi Nara, Raju Venugopalan
The early stages of a relativistic heavy-ion collision are examined in the framework of an effective classical SU(3) Yang-Mills theory in the transverse plane. We compute the initi…
High-temperature, classical, real-time dynamics of non-abelian gauge theories as seen by a computer
J. Ambjorn, K. N. Anagnostopoulos, A. Krasnitz
We test at the electroweak scale the recently proposed elaborate theoretical scenario for real-time dynamics of non-abelian gauge theories at high temperature. We see no sign of th…
The initial gluon multiplicity in heavy ion collisions
Alex Krasnitz, Raju Venugopalan
The initial gluon multiplicity per unit area per unit rapidity, dN/L^2/dη, in high energy nuclear collisions, is equal to f_N (g^2μL) (g^2μ)^2/g^2, with μ^2 proportional to the glu…
The initial energy density of gluons produced in very high energy nuclear collisions
Alex Krasnitz, Raju Venugopalan
In very high energy nuclear collisions, the initial energy of produced gluons per unit area per unit rapidity, , is equal to , where is prop…
Microscopic Spectral Density of the Dirac Operator in Quenched QCD
P. H. Damgaard, U. M. Heller, A. Krasnitz
Measurements of the lowest-lying eigenvalues of the staggered fermion Dirac operator are made on ensembles of equilibrium gauge field configurations in quenched SU(3) lattice gauge…
