A Systematic Study on Direct Photon Production from Central Heavy Ion Collisions

Fu-Ming Liu, Klaus Werner

We investigate the production of direct photons in central Au-Au collisions at the relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) at 200 GeV per nucleon, considering all possible sources.…

Effect of heavy-quark energy loss on the muon differential production cross section in Pb-Pb collisions at \sqrtsNN=5.5 TeV

Z. Conesa del Valle, A. Dainese, H. -T. Ding +2

We study the nuclear modification factors RAA and RCP of the high transverse momentum 5<pt<60 GeV/c distribution of muons in Pb--Pb collisions at LHC energies. We consider two pseu…

Medium-evolved fragmentation functions

N. Armesto, L. Cunqueiro, C. A. Salgado +1

Medium-induced gluon radiation is usually identified as the dominant dynamical mechanism underling the {\it jet quenching} phenomenon observed in heavy-ion collisions. In its actua…

Kinetic description of hadron-hadron collisions

Zhi Guang Tan, S. Terranova, A. Bonasera

A transport model based on the mean free path approach to describe pp collisions is proposed. We assume that hadrons can be treated as bags of partons similarly to the MIT bag mode…
