Physics Colloquium

"Quark-Gluon Plasmas at Weak Coupling"

Presented by Peter Arnold, University of Virginia

Tuesday, December 15, 2009, 3:30 pm — Large Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

It is difficult to make first-principle calculations of the real-time
dynamics of quark-gluon plasmas (equilibration rates, viscosities,
jet energy loss, and so forth). One of the limits where one can make
progress, and obtain insight, is the weak coupling limit
of treating the running coupling Ά_s(T) as small.
I will give a qualitative review of the physics underlying
various weak-coupling calculations of dynamics
in quark-gluon plasma, including jet energy loss.
