Electrical Conductivity of an Anisotropic Quark Gluon Plasma : A Quasiparticle Approach

Understand

The study of transport coefficients of strongly interacting matter got impetus after the discovery of perfect fluid ever created at ultrarelativistic heavy ion collision experiments.

• In this article, we have calculated one such coefficient viz.
• electrical conductivity of the quark gluon plasma (QGP) phase which exhibits a momentum anisotropy.
• Relativistic Boltzmann's kinetic equation has been solved in the relaxation-time approximation to obtain the electrical conductivity.
