Non-Abelian Medium Effects in Quark-Gluon Plasma

Abstract

Based on the kinetic theory, the non-Abelian medium property of hot Quark-Gluon Plasma is investigated. The nonlinearity of the plasma comes from two aspects: The nonlinear wave-wave interaction and self-interaction of color field. The non-Abelian color permittivity is obtained by expanding the kinetic equations to third order. As an application, the nonlinear Landau damping rate and the nonlinear eigenfrequency shift are calculated in the longwave length limit.Comment: 12 pages(Revtex), no figure
