Examination of the Gunion-Bertsch formula for soft gluon radiation

Understand

The spectrum of emitted gluons from the process g+g -> g+g+g has been evaluated by relaxing some of the approximations used in earlier works.

• The difference in the results from earlier calculations have been pointed out.
• The formula obtained in the present work has been applied to estimate physical quantities like equilibration rate of gluons and the energy loss of fast gluon in the gluonic plasma.
