Beyond leading-logarithm photon production from two-loop diagrams in a hot QCD medium

Sumit, Ritesh Ghosh, Munshi G. Mustafa

We investigate high-energy photon production from a quark-gluon plasma by evaluating the imaginary part of the two-loop photon self-energies in thermal QCD. Working within the imag…

Effective QCD model with consistent quasi-gluon treatment : formulation and application

Chowdhury Aminul Islam, Munshi G. Mustafa, Rajarshi Ray +1

The Polyakov loop enhanced Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is reformulated in terms of the gluon quasi-particles in addition to the already existing quark quasi-particles. The formulation…

Mean free path of photons in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Jajati K. Nayak, Rupa Chatterjee

Electromagnetic probes, such as photons and dileptons, play a key role in diagnosing the initial temperature of the hot and dense quark-gluon plasma (QGP) matter created in relativ…

Radiative Energy-Loss of Heavy Quarks in a Quark-Gluon Plasma

M. G. Mustafa, D. Pal, D. K. Srivastava +1

We estimate the radiative energy-loss of heavy quarks, produced from the initial fusion of partons, while propagating in a quark-gluon plasma which may be formed in the wake of rel…
