The energy loss of a relativistic charge undergoing multiple scatterings while traversing an infinite, polarizable and absorptive plasma is investigated. Polarization and damping mechanisms in the medium are phenomenologically modelled by a…
Dispersion relations for fermions at high temperature and in a background magnetic field are calculated in two different ways. First from a straightforward one-loop calculation where, in the weak field limit, we find an expression closely…
Polarized models of relativistically hot astrophysical plasmas require transport coefficients as input: synchrotron absorption and emission coefficients in each of the four Stokes parameters, as well as three Faraday rotation coefficients.…
We extend our previous work on the energy loss of a heavy fermion in a QED plasma to the Quark-Gluon plasma, using the same Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook collisional kernel. The calculation is carried out with a theoretical method where the…
We investigate the thermalization of charm quarks in high energy heavy ion collisions. To this end, we calculate the diffusion coefficient in the perturbative Quark Gluon Plasma and relate it to collisional energy loss and momentum…
We introduce a fractional Kramers equation for a particle interacting with a thermal heat bath and external non-linear force field. For the force free case the velocity damping follows the Mittag-Leffler relaxation and the diffusion is…
We describe electromagnetic propagation in a relativistic electron gas at finite temperatures and carrier densities. Using quantum electrodynamics at finite temperatures, we obtain electric and magnetic responses and general constitutive…
We apply the Thermal Field Theory (TFT) methods to study the propagation of photons in a plasma wire, that is, a system in which the electrons are confined to a one-dimensional tube or wire, but are otherwise free. We find the appropriate…
We present an operator definition of the collisional energy and momentum loss suffered by an energetic charged particle in the presence of a medium. Our approach uses the energy-momentum tensor of the medium to evaluate the energy and…
Recent theory developments in electromagnetic radiation from relativistic heavy-ion collisions are reviewed. Electromagnetic observables can serve as a thermometer, a viscometer, and tomographic probes to the collision system. The current…
A relativistic diffusion model with cylindrical symmetry, which propagates an initial state based on quantum chromodynamics in time towards a thermal equilibrium limit, is derived from nonequilibrium-statistical considerations: Adapting an…
We generalize the concept of conserving, Phi-derivable, approximations to relativistic field theories. Treating the interaction field as a dynamical degree of freedom, we derive the thermodynamic potential in terms of fully dressed…
Different formalisms used in the perturbative approach to Thermal Field Theory (TFT) are briefly reviewed. The rate of production of a virtual photon in a quark-gluon plasma is then discussed to illustrate some features of TFT before…
A simulation study of the effects resulting from creation of quark--gluon plasma in high energy collisions of cosmic iron nuclei with the air has been carried out. The Cherenkov light emission has been found to reveal some features of the…
An electromagnetic theory of thermal radiation is outlined, based on the fluctuation electrodynamics of Rytov and co-workers. We discuss the basic concepts and the status of different approximations. The physical content is illustrated with…
This paper presents the Thomas-Fermi approach generalized to consider the particle correlations in many-body systems with non-Coulomb interaction potentials. The key points of the generalization consist in using integral formulation and…
We have developed methods for tracing rays and performing radiative transfer through a magnetoactive plasma in a general relativistic environment. The two electromagnetic plasma modes propagate differently due to a combination of dispersive…
Quantum Field Theory is applied to study an electron plasma under an intense neutrino flux. The dispersion relation of the longitudinal waves is derived and the damping rate is calculated. It is shown that in the case of Supernova emission…
We recently derived, using diagrammatic methods, the leading-order hard photon emission rate in ultra-relativistic plasmas. This requires a correct treatment of multiple scattering effects which limit the coherence length of emitted…
The impact of non-extensive statistics on the hard thermal loop (HTL) resummation technique is investigated, in the absence and presence of a magnetic field. By utilizing the non-extensive bare propagators in the real-time formalism of…
