Electromagnetic Radiation from QCD Matter: Theory Overview
arXiv:1601.02563
Abstract
Recent theory developments in electromagnetic radiation from relativistic heavy-ion collisions are reviewed. Electromagnetic observables can serve as a thermometer, a viscometer, and tomographic probes to the collision system. The current status of the "direct photon flow puzzle" is highlighted.
