Transport Phenomena in the Hot Magnetized Quark�Gluon Plasma

The transport�coefficients such as bulk viscosity and electrical conductivity of the�hot quark�gluon plasma (QGP) have been estimated in the presence of a strong magnetic field. A quasiparticle description of the hot QCD equation of state (EoS) has been adopted to encode the collective excitations of the magnetized nuclear matter. Transport coefficients have been estimated by setting up a 1 + 1 - dimensional effective covariant kinetic theory to describe the Landau level dynamics of the quarks, with thermal relaxation time as the dynamical input. The effective kinetic theory enables one to include the mean field corrections in terms of nontrivial modified quasiparticle energy dispersion to the transport parameters. � 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
