%0 Journal Article %T Effects of gluon damping rate on the viscosity coefficient of the quark-gluon plasma at finite chemical potential %A Hou Defu %A Li Jiarong %J Physics %D 1997 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/S0375-9474(97)00045-6 %X By considering the Debye screening and damping rate of gluons, the viscosity coefficient of the quark-gluon plasma was evaluated via real-time finite temperature QCD in the relaxation time approximation at finite temperature and chemical potential . The results show that both the damping rate and the chemical potential cause considerable enhancements to the viscosity coefficient of hot dense quark-gluon plasma. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/nucl-th/9707033v1
