Massive Yang-Mills for Vector and Axial-Vector Spectral Functions at Finite Temperature
Paul M. Hohler, Ralf Rapp
The hadronic mechanism which leads to chiral symmetry restoration is explored in the context of the rho-pi-a_1 system using Massive Yang-Mills, a hadronic effective theory which go…
Dileptons and Chiral Symmetry Restoration
P. M. Hohler, R. Rapp
We report on recent work relating the medium effects observed in dilepton spectra in heavy-ion collisions to potential signals of chiral symmetry restoration. The key connection re…
Thermal photon emission from the pi-rho-omega system
Nathan P. M. Holt, Paul M. Hohler, Ralf Rapp
We investigate thermal photon emission rates in hot hadronic matter from a system consisting of pi, rho, and omega mesons. The rates are calculated using both relativistic kinetic…
Universal Parametrization of Thermal Photon Rates in Hadronic Matter
Matthew Heffernan, Paul Hohler, Ralf Rapp
Electromagnetic (EM) radiation off strongly interacting matter created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions (HICs) encodes information on the high-temperature phases of nuclear matt…
Is Rho-Meson Melting Compatible with Chiral Restoration?
Paul M. Hohler, Ralf Rapp
Utilizing in-medium vector spectral functions which describe dilepton data in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation of QCD and Weinberg sum…
Realistic Implementation of Massive Yang Mills for rho and a1 Mesons
Paul M. Hohler, Ralf Rapp
We revisit the massive Yang-Mills approach to implement axial-/vector mesons into the chiral pion Lagrangian. Employing the non-linear realization of chiral symmetry, we compute ve…
