Starting from kinetic theory, we obtain a nonlinear dissipative formalism describing the nonequilibrium evolution of scalar colored particles coupled selfconsistently to nonabelian classical gauge fields. The link between the one-particle distribution function of the kinetic description and the variables of the effective theory is determined by extremizing the entropy production. This method does not rely on the usual gradient expansion in fluid dynamic variables, and therefore the resulting effective theory can handle situations where these gradients (and hence the momentum-space anisotropies) are expected to be large. The formalism presented here, being computationally less demanding than kinetic theory, may be useful as a simplified model of the dynamics of color fields during the early stages of heavy ion collisions and in phenomena related to parton energy loss.

In a series of papers Boyanovsky et al. have studied the evolution of an inflaton with a negative mass squared and a quartic self coupling using the Closed Time Path (CTP) formalism relevant for out-of-equilibrium dynamics. In this paper we comment o
n various aspects of these works. We first compare their approach to alternate approaches to study inflaton dynamics and point out that the use of the CTP formalism gives the same results as standard field theory in the Hartree and leading order large N approximations. We then rederive using the WKB approximation the large momentum mode functions of the inflaton needed for renormalisation and point out some differences with the previously obtained results. We also argue that the WKB approximation is valid only for large $k/a$ and not for large $k$ as apparently assumed in the above mentioned works. We comment on the renormalisation prescription adopted in these works and finally discuss how it differs from another more commonly used prescription.
We study out-of-equilibrium dynamics of intense non-abelian gauge fields. Generalizing the well-known Nielsen-Olesen instabilities for constant initial color-magnetic fields, we investigate the impact of temporal modulations and fluctuations in the i
nitial conditions. This leads to a remarkable coexistence of the original Nielsen-Olesen instability and the subdominant phenomenon of parametric resonance. Taking into account that the fields may be correlated only over a limited transverse size, we model characteristic aspects of the dynamics of color flux tubes relevant in the context of heavy-ion collisions.
We study the dynamics of a quantum Brownian particle weakly coupled to a thermal bath. Working in the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism, we develop an effective action of the particle up to quartic terms. We demonstrate that this quartic effective theory i
s dual to a stochastic dynamics governed by a non-linear Langevin equation. The Schwinger-Keldysh effective theory, or the equivalent non-linear Langevin dynamics, is insufficient to determine the out of time order correlators (OTOCs) of the particle. To overcome this limitation, we construct an extended effective action in a generalised Schwinger-Keldysh framework. We determine the additional quartic couplings in this OTO effective action and show their dependence on the baths 4-point OTOCs. We analyse the constraints imposed on the OTO effective theory by microscopic reversibility and thermality of the bath. We show that these constraints lead to a generalised fluctuation-dissipation relation between the non-Gaussianity in the distribution of the thermal noise experienced by the particle and the thermal jitter in its damping coefficient. The quartic effective theory developed in this work provides extension of several results previously obtained for the cubic OTO dynamics of a Brownian particle.
We discuss the renormalization of the initial value problem in Nonequilibrium Quantum Field Theory within a simple, yet instructive, example and show how to obtain a renormalized time evolution for the two-point functions of a scalar field and its co
njugate momentum at all times. The scheme we propose is applicable to systems that are initially far from equilibrium and compatible with non-secular approximation schemes which capture thermalization. It is based on Kadanoff-Baym equations for non-Gaussian initial states, complemented by usual vacuum counterterms. We explicitly demonstrate how various cutoff-dependent effects peculiar to nonequilibrium systems, including time-dependent divergences or initial-time singularities, are avoided by taking an initial non-Gaussian three-point vacuum correlation into account.
We report the highest compression reached in laboratory plasmas using eight laser beams, E$_{laser}$$approx$12 kJ, $tau_{laser}$=2 ns in third harmonic on a CD$_2$ target at the ShenGuang-II Upgrade (SGII-Up) facility in Shanghai, China. We estimate
the deuterium density $rho_D$= 2.0 $pm$ 0.9 kg/cm$^{3}$, and the average kinetic energy of the plasma ions less than 1 keV. The highest reached areal density $Lambda rho_{D}$=4.8 $pm$ 1.5 g/cm$^{2}$ was obtained from the measured ratio of the sequential ternary fusion reactions (dd$rightarrow$t+p and t+d$rightarrow$$alpha$+n) and the two body reaction fusions (dd$rightarrow$$^3$He+n). At such high densities, sequential ternary and also quaternary nuclear reactions become important as well (i.e. n(14.1 MeV) + $^{12}$C $rightarrow$ n+$^{12}$C* etc.) resulting in a shift of the neutron (and proton) kinetic energies from their birth values. The Down Scatter Ratio (DSR-quaternary nuclear reactions) method, i.e. the ratio of the 10-12MeV neutrons divided by the total number of 14.1MeV neutrons produced, confirms the high densities reported above. The estimated lifetime of the highly compressed plasma is 52 $pm$ 9 ps, much smaller than the lasers pulse duration.
