Massless Limit of Transport Theory for Massive Fermions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2020-08-18 v2

Abstract

We studied the m=0m=0 limit of different components of Wigner functions for massive fermions. Comparing with the chiral kinetic theory, we separated the vanishing part and non-vanishing part for vector and axial vector components, up to the first order of \hbar. Then we discussed the possible physical meaning of the vanishing and non-vanishing parts, and their different behavior at thermal equilibrium.
