10. USTC 0807 Hui Liu 10 Summary  Distribution function is describing the spacial configuration of a many- body system which can be obtained via both theory and experiment.  We compared the dispersion relations of HTL and complete one loop, pointing out an important discrepancy in the dynamical screening regime which is responsible for the different static screening picture.  The RDF of hot QGP appears an obvious damping oscillation which implies the QGP might be in a liquid state.  Static structure functions, which is the Fourier transformation of auto- correlation function, can be measured by experiment. We hope in this way the picture in our calculation can be tested by the experiments. Any comments or suggestions are warmly welcome!
