Highly energetic particles in the medium of a quark gluon plasma undergo processes of coherent medium induced radiation and scatterings off medium particles. We solved the evolution equations for particle fragmentation functions that…
I derive the distribution of energy and momentum transmitted from a fast parton to a medium of thermalized quarks, or the source term, in perturbative thermal field theory directly from the quark energy-momentum tensor. The fast parton is…

Medium modification of jet fragmentation function due to multiple scattering and induced gluon radiation leads directly to jet quenching or suppression of leading particle distribution from jet fragmentation. One can extract an effective…
Nonperturbative dynamics of quantum fields out of equilibrium is often described by the time evolution of a hierarchy of correlation functions, using approximation methods such as Hartree, large N, and nPI-effective action techniques. These…

We review evolution equations for the truncated Mellin moments of the parton distributions and some their applications in QCD analysis. The main finding of the presented approach is that the $n$th truncated moment of the parton distribution…
We study again the phenomenon of charge fractionalization at finite temperature. Our calculations are done in a framework in which the connection between the induced fermion number and the chiral anomaly is manifest. We find that the…
