Elliptic flow of thermal photons in heavy-ion collisions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and Large Hadron Collider

Hannu Holopainen, Sami Räsänen, Kari J. Eskola

We calculate the thermal photon transverse momentum spectra and elliptic flow in $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC and in $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV Pb+Pb collisio…
