Dynamical screening in a quark gluon plasma

Abstract

We calculate the screening potential of a fast parton moving through a quark-gluon plasma in the framework of semi-classical transport theory. We found an anisotropic potential showing a minimum in the direction of the parton velocity. Possible consequences of this potential on binary states in a quark-gluon plasma are discussed.
