Effect of quark-gluon plasma boundary on the momentum distribution of quarks

摘要

The boundary of a quark-gluon plasma affects the momentum distribution of quarks in the plasma. In particular, a transverse boundary leads to a transverse momentum distribution with a shape different from the thermal distribution especially in the high transverse momentum region. In consequence, boundary effect must be taken into account if one wishes to estimate the magnitudes of signals in a search for the quark-gluon plasma.
