The Role of Color-Magnetic Monopoles in a Gluonic Plasma

The role of color-magnetic monopoles in a pure gauge plasma at high temperature $T>2T_c$ is considered. In this temperature regime, monopoles can be considered heavy, rare objects embedded into matter consisting mostly of the usual "electric" quasiparticles, quarks and gluons. The gluon-monopole scattering is found to hardly influence thermodynamic quantities, yet it produces a large transport cross section, significantly exceeding that for pQCD gluon-gluon scattering up to quite high $T$. This mechanism keeps viscosity small enough for hydrodynamics to work at LHC.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, Talk presented at the Quark Matter 2009 Conference, Knoxville, T

Concept to convert electrical power

Moving fluid conductor transforms electrical power from one voltage to another. The electrically conductive fluid acts as a coupling medium between or among multiple electromagnetic fields producing the conversion
