Distribution functions for hard thermal particles in QCD

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We find a closed-form for the distribution function (defined in terms of a Wigner operator) for hot coloured particles in a background gluon field, in the hard thermal loop approximation. We verify that the current is the same as that derived from the known effective action.
