Abstract

High-energy particles traversing a medium experience modified dispersion. In the Quark-Gluon Plasma, such dispersion affects jet propagation and transport properties and should be determined better. Above 2Tc\sim 2T_c we expect strongly coupled infrared behavior and perturbative ultraviolet behavior, allowing a perturbative matching to an effective theory called EQCD, which can be studied non-perturbatively. We study the relevant non-local operator in EQCD at next-to-leading order which allows for a complete EQCD-to-lattice match and prepares the groundwork for a matching between EQCD and full QCD. Our results in EQCD show remarkable agreement between perturbation theory and the lattice in the expected regime.
