| Instabilities in the Quark-Gluon Plasma |
| Speaker: | Maximilian Attems (TU Wien) |
| Abstract: | The quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is a phase at extremely high temperatures formed by deconfined quarks and gluons as predicted by quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Non-Abelian plasma instabilities play a crucial role in the nonequilibrium dynamics of a weakly coupled QGP. The evolution of Chromo-Weibel instabilties can be carried out thanks to real-time lattice simulations. The developed hard-expanding-loop (HEL) formalism allows the (numerical) calculation of the time evolution of gluonic mean fields in full 3 dimensional Bjorken expansion. |
