Calculation of the gluon damping rate in hot QCD
Abstract
We present a complete calculation of the gluon damping rate at zero momentum to leading order in the QCD coupling constant $g$. All terms of leading order in $g$ are included by the resummation of an infinite subset of higher-loop diagrams. At zero momentum, the damping rates for transverse gluons and plasmons are equal: the result is $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\simeq}+0.264013{g}^{2}T$, where $T$ is the temperature. The sign is positive, which implies that the quark-gluon plasma is perturbatively stable.

“At extremely high temperatures, T ≫ ΛMS , with typical momenta Q ≈ T , the coupling Q2/Λ2MS becomes weak, and resummed finite temperature perturbation theory (Braaten and Pisarski, 1990 and 1992) may be applied.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
