Kinetic Equation for Gluons in the Background Gauge of QCD
We derive the kinetic equation for pure gluon QCD plasma, applying the background field method. The derivation is quite general and is not limited to the vicinity of equilibrium as it was assumed in earlier work. We show that the quantum kinetic equation contains a term as in the classical case, tha...

description | We derive the kinetic equation for pure gluon QCD plasma, applying the background field method. The derivation is quite general and is not limited to the vicinity of equilibrium as it was assumed in earlier work. We show that the quantum kinetic equation contains a term as in the classical case, that describes a color charge precession of partons moving in the gauge field. We emphasize that this new term is necessary for the gauge covariance of the resulting equation. |

We emphasize that this new term is necessary for the gauge covariance of the resulting equation.We derive the quantum kinetic equation for a pure gluon plasma, applying the background field and closed-time-path method. The derivation is more general and transparent than earlier works. A term in the equation is found which, as in the classical case, corresponds to the color charge precession for partons moving in the gauge field.nucl-th/0111040CERN-TH-2001-313CERN-TH-2001-313oai:cds.cern.ch:5266762001-11-13 |
