Soft Thermal Loops in Scalar Quantum Electrodynamics
Stefan Leupold, Markus H. Thoma
Scalar QED is used to study approximations in thermal field theory beyond the Hard Thermal Loop resummation scheme. For this purpose the photon self energy is calculated for extern…
Non-Perturbative Dilepton Production from a Quark-Gluon Plasma
Munshi G. Mustafa, Andreas Sch"afer, Markus H. Thoma
The dilepton production rate from the quark-gluon plasma is calculated from the imaginary part of the photon self energy using a quark propagator that contains the gluon condensate…
Dilepton Production from Rho-Mesons in a Quark-Gluon Plasma
Markus H. Thoma, Stefan Leupold, Ulrich Mosel
Assuming that rho-mesons exist in a quark-gluon plasma close to the QCD phase transition, we calculate the dilepton production rate from quark-antiquark annihilation via a rho-meso…
Gluon Condensate and Quark Propagation in the QGP
Andreas Sch"afer, Markus H. Thoma
A calculation of the thermal quark propagator is presented taking the gluon condensate above the critical temperature into account. The quark dispersion relation following from thi…
