Electromagnetic Signals at RHIC

Simon Turbide, Charles Gale

We calculate the direct photon yield in central and mid-peripheral Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC). The processes involving the propagation of jets h…

Thermal photons and dileptons

Charles Gale

We discuss the status of a subset of penetrating probes in relativistic nuclear collisions. Thermal photons and dileptons are considered, as well as the electromagnetic signature o…

Numerical Studies of QGP Instabilities and Implications

Guy D. Moore

Because the initial shape of the QGP in a heavy ion collision is anisotropic, the momentum distribution becomes anisotropic after a short time. This leads to plasma instabilities,…

Can Inflation solve the Hierarchy Problem?

Tirthabir Biswas, Alessio Notari

Inflation with tunneling from a false to a true vacuum becomes viable in the presence of a scalar field that slows down the initial de Sitter phase. As a by-product this field also…

All orders transport theory from the multiple scattering expansion of the self-energy: the central cuts

J. -S. Gagnon, F. Fillion-Gourdeau, S. Jeon

We use the full multiple scattering expansion of the retarded self-energy to obtain the gain and loss rates present in the Kadanoff-Baym relativistic transport equation. The rates…

The turbulent spectrum created by non-Abelian plasma instabilities

Peter Arnold, Guy D. Moore

Recent numerical work on the fate of plasma instabilities in weakly-coupled non-Abelian gauge theory has shown the development of a cascade of energy from long to short wavelengths…
