Abstract

The gluon transport equations (Phys. Lett. 177B (1986) 402) are reconsidered to derive a consistent semiclassical limit. Introducing the color current of gluon fluctuations around a classical mean field, we calculate the color permeability function of a collisionless gluon plasma in linear response approximation. The dispersion relations and electric screening length agree with one-loop high temperature QCD results. We find no magnetic screening at o(g2) and predict transverse magnetic plasma oscillations similar to electric ones. The extension to include particle production by a mean color field is shortly described.

Presented at the 6th International Conference on Ultra-Relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions — Quark Matter 1987, 24–28 August 1987, Nordkirchen, Federal Republic of Germany
