The Rayleigh Bubble in Quark Matter under a Strong Magnetic Field

Abstract

The transition of QGP from fluid-dynamical regime to freeze-out is accompanied by the onset of instabilities. In the present paper we investigate the impact of the magnetic field on the Rayleigh instability. We show that extremely strong field generated in peripheral heavy ion collisions has an insignificant influence on the Rayleigh bubble dynamics. Magnetic "friction" turns out to be much weaker than the viscous one.
