1-loop matching of a thermal Lorentz force.
2021
Studying the diffusion and kinetic equilibration of heavy quarks within a hot QCD medium profits from the knowledge of a coloured Lorentz force that acts on them. Starting from the spatial components of the vector current, and carrying out two matching computations, one for the heavy quark mass scale ($M$) and another for thermal scales ($\sqrt{MT}$, $T$), we determine 1-loop matching coefficients for the electric and magnetic parts of a Lorentz force. The magnetic part has a non-zero anomalous dimension, which agrees with that extracted from two other considerations, one thermal and the other in vacuum. The matching coefficient could enable a lattice study of a colour-magnetic 2-point correlator.
