Description

By starting from the chiral kinetic theory in the relaxation-time approximation, an Israel-Stewart type formulation of the hydrodynamic equations for a chiral relativistic plasma is derived. By making use of the corresponding framework of dissipative chiral hydrodynamics, a range of various types of collective modes are studied.
