Biografisk notat

Samirnath Mallik is an Emeritus Scientist at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics. He previously worked at the University of Bern, the University of Karlsruhe and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. His research interests are thermal field theory and heavy ion collisions. Sourav Sarkar is a scientist at the Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre, Kolkata, and an Associate Professor at the Homi Bhabha National Institute. His research interests concern the applications of thermal field theory, mainly to study transport phenomena and hadronic properties in a hot and dense medium.

High energy laboratories are performing experiments in heavy ion collisions to explore the structure of matter at high temperature and density. This elementary book explains the basic ideas involved in the theoretical analysis of these experimental data. It first develops two topics needed for this purpose, namely hadron interactions and thermal field theory. Chiral perturbation theory is developed to describe hadron interactions and thermal field theory is formulated in the real-time method. In particular, spectral form of thermal propagators is derived for fields of arbitrary spin and used to calculate loop integrals. These developments are then applied to find quark condensate and hadron parameters in medium, including dilepton production. Finally, the non-equilibrium method of statistical field theory to calculate transport coefficients is reviewed. With technical details explained in the text and appendices, this book should be accessible to researchers as well as graduate students interested in thermal field theory.
