Photon Emission from a Momentum Anisotropic Quark-Gluon Plasma
Chun Shen, Jean-Francois Paquet, Ulrich Heinz +1
We compute the photon emission rate from a quark-gluon plasma with an anisotropic particle momentum distribution induced by a non-vanishing local shear pressure tensor. Our calcula…
Production and Elliptic Flow of Dileptons and Photons in the semi-Quark Gluon Plasma
C. Gale, Y. Hidaka, S. Jeon +6
We consider the thermal production of dileptons and photons at temperatures above the critical temperature in QCD. We use a model where color excitations are suppressed by a small…
Probing the non-equilibrium dynamics of hot and dense QCD with dileptons
Gojko Vujanovic, Jean-Francois Paquet, Gabriel S. Denicol +4
It is argued that, in heavy ion collisions, thermal dileptons are good probes of the transport properties of the medium created in such events, and also of its early-time dynamics,…
Extracting the bulk viscosity of the quark-gluon plasma
J. -B. Rose, J. -F. Paquet, G. S. Denicol +4
We investigate the implications of a nonzero bulk viscosity coefficient on the azimuthal momentum anisotropy of ultracentral relativistic heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron C…
Event-by-event direct photon anisotropic flow in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Chun Shen, Jean-Francois Paquet, Jia Liu +3
We consider directly emitted and hadronic decay photons from event-by-event hydrodynamic simulations. We compute the direct photon anisotropic flow coefficients and compare with re…
Probing the early-time dynamics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions with electromagnetic radiation
Gojko Vujanovic, Jean-Francois Paquet, Gabriel S. Denicol +4
Using 3+1D viscous relativistic fluid dynamics, we show that electromagnetic probes are sensitive to the initial conditions and to the out-of-equilibrium features of relativistic h…
Thermal photon anisotropic flow serves as a quark-gluon plasma viscometer
Chun Shen, Ulrich Heinz, Jean-Francois Paquet +1
Photons are a penetrating probe of the hot and dense medium created in heavy-ion collisions. We present state-of-the-art calculations of viscous photon emission from nuclear collis…
