c © TÜB_ITAK The Investigation of Screening of Chromoelectric and Chromomagnetic Fields in Noncovariant Gauges

According to Thermal Quantum Chromodynamics (TQCD) hadron matter may exist in the form of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at high temperatures and densities. The aim of the present work is to investigate the screening of chromoelectric and chromomagnetic elds in QGP in noncovariant gauges. In noncovariant gauges, gluon propagator has unphysical poles and singularities appear in the gluon self-energy diagram calculations. In this paper, we investigate gluon self-energy in lightcone and temporal gauges. In order to remove singularities, we use the Mandelstam-Leibbrandt prescription (ML prescrip-tion). We obtain that chromoelectric elds are screened, but chromomagnetic elds are not screened. In coordinate space, the screening of chromoelectric elds reduces the range of gauge interactions. In momentum space, it contributes to regulate the infrared behavior of the various n-point Green functions. Also, it is shown that the obtained results are gauge invariant
