We discuss various manifestations of the "magnetic scenario" for the quark-gluon plasma viewed as a mixture of two plasmas, of electrically (quark and gluons) as well as magnetically charged quasiparticles. Near the deconfinement phase transition, T ≈ Tc very small density of free quarks should lead to negligible screening of electric field while magnetic screening remains strong. The consequence of this should be existence of a "corona" of the QGP, in a way similar to that of the Sun, in which…

Role of monopoles in a gluon plasma

We study the role of magnetic monopoles at high enough temperature T>2T{sub c}, when they can be considered heavy, rare objects embedded into matter consisting mostly of the usual 'electric'…

The magnetic component of quark-gluon plasma is also a liquid.

By analysis of the correlation functions, it is shown that the magnetic Coulomb coupling runs in the direction opposite to the electric one, implying that magnetic objects should also form a good liquid with low viscosity.

Lattice calculation of gluon screening masses

We study SU(3) gluon electric and magnetic masses at finite temperatures using quenched lattice QCD on a $20^2 \times 32 \times 6$ lattice. We focus on temperature regions between $T=T_c$ and $6T_c$,…

Fate of the initial state perturbations in heavy ion collisions. II. Glauber fluctuations and sounds

Heavy-ion collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are well described by the (nearly ideal) hydrodynamics for average events. In the present paper we study initial state…

Magnetic component of Yang-Mills plasma.

It is pointed out that within the percolation picture, lattice simulations can be used to estimate the monopole content of the gluon plasma, and it is shown that right above the critical temperature the monopoles density remains a constant function of temperature, and then grows, as in a gas.

Bose-Einstein condensation of strongly interacting bosons: From liquid {sup 4}He to QCD monopoles

Starting from the classic work of Feynman on the {lambda} point of liquid helium, we show that his idea of universal action per particle at the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) transition point is…

Origin of the ridge phenomenon induced by jets in heavy ion collisions

We argue that ``ridge'' in two-particle correlation function associated with hard trigger at BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) heavy ion collisions is naturally explained by an interrelation…
