Meson radiation from a quark-gluon plasma by fission of chromoelectric flux tubes
Abstract
The chromoelectric flux tube model is used to obtain a dynamical description of the evaporation of mesons from a quark-gluon plasma. The radiation pressure is computed to assess whether this process is an important mode for the disassembly of a compressed plasma. A new result for the rate of qq pair creation, which is the mechanism for fission of the tube, is employed.
