Interfering QCD/QED Vacuum Polarization
H. -Th. Elze, B. Müller, J. Rafelski
Vacuum polarization mediated by quark loops is susceptible to external electromagnetic fields as well as to the QCD vacuum structure. Employing the stochastic vacuum model, we calc…
Variational Approach to Hydrodynamics - from QGP to General Relativity
H. -Th. Elze, T. Kodama, Y. Hama +2
We derive the special and general relativistic hydrodynamic equations of motion for ideal fluids from a variational principle. Our approach allows to find approximate solutions, wh…
Quark-Gluon Plasma in Pb--Pb 158 A GeV collisions: Evidence from strange particle abundances and the Coulomb effect
Jean Letessier, Johann Rafelski
The hadronic particle production data from relativistic nuclear Pb--Pb 158 A GeV collisions are successfully described within the chemical non-equilibrium model, provided that the…
Electromagnetic Fields in the QCD Vacuum
Johann Rafelski, H. -Thomas Elze
Quarks play an active role in shaping the QCD vacuum structure. Being dual carriers of both `color' and `electric' charges they also respond to externally applied electromagnetic f…
