Description
We present a self-consistent method to describe a conformal
plasma composed of three quark flavors (particles + anti-particles) in the
presence of strong magnetic fields by means of kinetic-theory tools. Based
on a specific ansatz for the dissipative correction to the equilibrium
distribution function, we explicitly solve the Boltzmann equation in
relaxation-time approximation, including magnetic effects within the
space-time gradients of the quark distributions -– coming from the
transverse (to the fluid velocity) projection of the energy-momentum
conservation law -- and obtain a first-order constitutive relation for the
spatially-anisotropic diffusivity tensor. Additionally, in the simple case
of a single quark flavor, we quantitatively emphasize differences and
similarities with some of the available results in the literature for the
orthogonal (with respect to the magnetic field) and Hall components of the
diffusivity tensor.
