Abstract

We analyze the screening and bulk energy of a classical and strongly interacting plasma of color charges, a model we recently introduced for the description of a quark-gluon plasma at T=(1-3)T{sub c}. The partition function is organized around the Debye-Hueckel limit. The linear Debye-Hueckel limit is corrected by a virial expansion. For the pressure, the expansion is badly convergent even in the dilute limit. The nonlinear Debye-Hueckel theory is studied numerically as an alternative for moderately strong plasmas. We use the Debye theory of solid to extend the analysis to the crystal phase at very strong coupling. The analytical results for the bulk energy per particle compare well with the numerical results from molecular dynamics simulations for all couplings.

Classical strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma. III. The free energy

Journal Article Cho, Sungtae; Zahed, Ismail - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We explore further the classical quark-gluon plasma using methods from classical liquids. The partition function of an ensemble of SU(N{sub c}) colored charge spheres is constructed. We analyze it using a cumulant expansion (low density) and a loop expansion (high temperature) after resumming the Debye screening effects. The pertinent free energies are derived in both limits and compared with recent molecular dynamics results.

Classical strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma. IV. Thermodynamics

Journal Article Cho, Sungtae; Zahed, Ismail - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We construct an equation of state of the classical quark-gluon plasma (cQGP) valid for all values of {gamma}=V/K, the ratio of the mean Coulomb to kinetic energy. By enforcing the Gibbs relations, we derive the pertinent pressure and entropy densities for all {gamma}. For the case of an SU(2) classical gluonic plasma our results compare well with lattice simulations. We show that the strongly coupled component of the cQGP contributes significantly to the bulk thermodynamics across T{sub c}. Alternatively, a direct fit of {gamma} using a lattice extracted running coupling constant implies a sharp drop in {gamma} and a rapidmore »« less

Classical strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma. VI. Shear viscosity and self-diffusion

Journal Article Cho, Sungtae; Zahed, Ismail - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We construct the Liouville operator for the SU(2) classical colored Coulomb plasma for arbitrary values of the Coulomb coupling {Gamma}=V/K, the ratio of the mean Coulomb to kinetic energy. We show that its resolvent in the classical colored phase space obeys a hierarchy of equations. We use a free-streaming approximation to close the hierarchy and derive an integral equation for the time-dependent structure factor. Its reduction by projection yields hydrodynamical equations in the long-wavelength limit. We discuss the character of the hydrodynamical modes at strong coupling. The shear viscosity is shown to exhibit a minimum at {Gamma}{approx_equal}8 near the liquidmore »« less

Classical strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma. V. Structure factors

Journal Article Cho, Sungtae; Zahed, Ismail - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We show that the classical and strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma is characterized by a multiple of structure factors that obey generalized Orstein-Zernicke equations. We use the canonical partition function and its associated density functional to derive analytical equations for the density and charge monopole structure factors for arbitrary values of {Gamma}=V/K, the ratio of the mean potential to the Coulomb energy. The results are compared with SU(2) molecular dynamics simulations.

Classical strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma. I. Model and molecular dynamics simulations

Journal Article Gelman, Boris; Shuryak, Edward; Zahed, Ismail - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

We propose a model for the description of strongly interacting quarks and gluon quasiparticles at T=(1-3)T{sub c} as a classical and nonrelativistic colored Coulomb gas. The sign and strength of the interparticle interactions are fixed by the scalar product of their classical color vectors subject to Wong's equations. The model displays a number of phases as the Coulomb coupling is increased ranging from a gas, to a liquid, to a crystal with antiferromagnetic-like color ordering. We analyze the model using molecular dynamics simulations and discuss the density-density correlator in real time. We extract pertinent decorrelation times, diffusion, and viscosity constantsmore »« less
