- Title
Light-Front Field Theory of Hot and Dense Quark Matter.
- Authors
Beyer, M.
- Abstract
Extending the concepts of light-front field theory to quantum statistics provides a novel approach towards nuclear matter under extreme conditions. Such conditions exist, e.g., in neutron stars or in the early stage of our universe. They are experimentally expected to occur in heavy ion collisions, e.g., at RHIC and accelerators to be built at GSI and CERN. Light-front field theory is particularly suited, since it is based on a relativistic Hamiltonian approach. It allows us to treat the perturbative as well as the nonperturbative regime of QCD and also correlations that emerge as a field of few-body physics and is important for hadronization. Last but not least the Hamiltonian approach is useful for nonequilibrium processes by utilizing, e.g., the formalism of nonequilibrium statistical operators.
