Thermal photons as a quark-gluon plasma thermometer revisited
Chun Shen, Ulrich W. Heinz, Jean-Francois Paquet +1
Photons are a penetrating probe of the hot medium formed in heavy-ion collisions, but they are emitted from all collision stages. At photon energies below 2-3 GeV, the measured pho…

Anisotropic flow of thermal photons as a quark-gluon plasma viscometer
Chun Shen, Ulrich W. Heinz, Jean-Francois Paquet +2
We present state-of-the-art calculations of viscous photon emission from nuclear collisions at RHIC and LHC. Fluctuating initial density profiles are evolved with event-by-event vi…
