Abstract

We calculate the Debye screening mass in thermal, dense, and magnetized QCD matter in the frame of resummed perturbation theory. In the limit of zero temperature, when the Landau energy level and Fermi surface of quarks match each other μq2=2n|qB|, where q, μq, and B are respectively the quark electric charge, baryon chemical potential, and external magnetic field, the screening mass diverges and the system is in the state of weakly interacting parton gas, which is very different from the known result of strongly interacting quark-gluon plasma at high temperature. The divergence disappears in the thermal medium, but the screening mass oscillates with clear peaks at the matched magnetic field.
