Xp. Zheng et Jr. Li, ENERGY CHANGE OF HIGH-ENERGY PARTONS PROPAGATING THROUGH A QUARK-GLUON PLASMA WITH FLUCTUATIONS OR TURBULENCE, Nuclear physics. A, 639(3-4), 1998, pp. 705-716
We calculate the energy changes of a colored particle and a color dipo
le passing through a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) taking into account the
non-linear color dielectric coefficient and find the partons may have
an increase of energy determined by fluctuating or turbulent intensity
unlike the result in a linear approximation. We also show the acceler
ation effect is due to energy transfer into the partons from fluctuati
ng fields. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
