Charge, Heat and Momentum Transport in Hot QCD Matter
(Book Rivers, 2026) Salman Ahamad Khan, Mohd Shahalam
This chapter gives an introduction to the transport coefficients such as,electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, shear viscosity, bulk viscosity,and Seebeck coefficient of quark gluon plasma (QGP) which is the high,temperature phase of quantum chromodynamics. We have given the,definition of the transport coefficients in the frame work of relativistic,kinetic theory and have also shown their temperature behavior. For a,better understanding of the effects of collisions on the transport coefficients,,we have discussed the behavior of all these coefficients in naive RTA as well,as number conserving BGK collision terms.,
Non-Extensive Statistical Mechanics: Introduction and Its Application in Heavy-Ion Physics
(Book Rivers, 2025) Salman Ahamad Khan, Mohd Shahalam
This chapter presents an introduction to the non-extensive statistical mechanics and its application in the high energy physics specially in the context of the matter created in the heavy ion collision experiments at RHIC (BNL) and LHC (CERN). The non-extensive Tsallis distribution function and the computation of various thermodynamical quantities in the non extensive framework have been defined. The fitting of the hadron transverse momentum using the power law distribution has been explained. Apart from that some transport and screening properties of non-extensive quark gluon plasma have also been discussed.
