摘要
The electric conductivity of a hot quark-gluon plasma is obtained numerically by solving the relativistic Boltzmann equation. We use a relativistic, semi-classical partonic cascade including screened binary and inelastic, radiative 2 <-> 3 perturbative QCD scattering. We employ the Green-Kubo formula and, independently, evaluate the static electric current established by the influence of an external electric field, in order to extract the conductivity. Both numerical methods give the same result. By using only constant, isotropic cross sections, we are able to compare the numerical results and analytic formulas with excellent agreement. Using pQCD scattering with running coupling in the transport code allows us to contrast our results with recent lattice QCD data.
