Zeroing in on the initial state -- tomography using bulk, jets and photons
Thorsten Renk, Rupa Chatterjee, Kari J. Eskola +2
One of the unsolved problems in the current 'standard model' of heavy ion physics is the apparent rapid thermalization of QCD matter in the pre-equilibrium stage. While it is chall…
Triangular flow of thermal photons from an event-by-event hydrodynamic model for 2.76A TeV Pb+Pb collisions at LHC
Rupa Chatterjee, Dinesh K. Srivastava, Thorsten Renk
We calculate the triangular flow parameter of thermal photons from an event-by-event ideal hydrodynamic model for central collisions of Pb nuclei at …
Elliptic flow of thermal photons from event-by-event hydrodynamic model
Rupa Chatterjee, Hannu Holopainen, Ilkka Helenius +2
Elliptic flow of direct photons in relativistic heavy ion collisions is believed to be dominated by contribution from thermal radiation of quark gluon plasma up to G…
Influence of initial state fluctuations on the production of thermal photons
Rupa Chatterjee, Hannu Holopainen, Thorsten Renk +1
Inhomogeneities in the initial QCD matter density distribution increase the production of thermal photons significantly compared to a smooth initial-state-averaged profile in the r…
Thermal photons from fluctuating initial conditions
Rupa Chatterjee, Hannu Holopainen, Thorsten Renk +1
Event-by-event fluctuations of initial QCD-matter density produced in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC enhance the production of thermal photons significantly in the region $2 \le p_T…
Enhancement of thermal photon production in event-by-event hydrodynamics
Rupa Chatterjee, Hannu Holopainen, Thorsten Renk +1
Thermal photon emission is widely believed to reflect properties of the earliest, hottest evolution stage of the medium created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Previous…
Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC - Last Call for Predictions
S. Abreu, S. V. Akkelin, J. Alam +164
This writeup is a compilation of the predictions for the forthcoming Heavy Ion Program at the Large Hadron Collider, as presented at the CERN Theory Institute 'Heavy Ion Collisions…
Heavy-Quark Kinetics in the QGP at LHC
H. van Hees, V. Greco, R. Rapp
We present predictions for the nuclear modification factor and elliptic flow of D and B mesons, as well as of their decay electrons, in semicentral Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. Hea…
Thermal Dileptons at LHC
H. van Hees, R. Rapp
We predict dilepton invariant-mass spectra for central 5.5 ATeV Pb-Pb collisions at LHC. Hadronic emission in the low-mass region is calculated using in-medium spectral functions o…
