The polarization of thermal dileptons emitted in high-energy heavy-ion collisions
Han Gao, Xiang-Yu Wu, Charles Gale +2
This work presents calculations of thermal dilepton emission and polarization observables. It features a comprehensive framework which comprises virtual photon spectral functions c…
Electromagnetic Radiation from Baryon-Rich Matter in Heavy-Ion Collisions
Xiang-Yu Wu, Charles Gale, Sangyong Jeon +3
We perform a study of electromagnetic radiation in heavy-ion collisions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) Beam Energy Scan (BES) and SPS energies using the iEBE-MUSIC frame…
Electromagnetic radiation from Quark-Gluon Plasma at finite baryon density
Xiang-Yu Wu, Charles Gale, Sangyong Jeon +3
Using the Bayesian calibrated iEBE-MUSIC framework, we compute the production of electromagnetic radiation from hot hadronic matter at finite baryon density. Results for thermal ph…
In-plane transverse polarization in heavy-ion collisions
Anum Arslan, Wen-Bo Dong, Charles Gale +3
We give an analytical expression for the in-plane polarization , in heavy-ion collisions that has, to our knowledge, not been measured in heavy-ion collision experiments. We…
Effects of a background magnetic field on dilepton radiation
Han Gao, Xiang-Yu Wu, Sangyong Jeon +1
We explore the feasibility of using dilepton radiations as a QGP magnetometer. We calculate the dilepton production rate in the presence of a time-dependent magnetic field typicall…
Dilepton emission in heavy ion collisions and chemical equilibrium of QCD matter
Xiang-Yu Wu, Lipei Du, Charles Gale +1
We study thermal dilepton production and anisotropic flow in Pb+Pb collisions at using next-to-leading-order (NLO) thermal QCD dilepton emiss…
Thermal dilepton polarization and dynamics of the QCD plasma in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Xiang-Yu Wu, Han Gao, Bailey Forster +3
We present the first theoretical study of the polarization of lepton pairs produced in TeV Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC, using next-to-leading order (N…
Probing the equilibration of the QCD matter created in heavy-ion collisions with dileptons
Xiang-Yu Wu, Lipei Du, Charles Gale +1
A systematic study of intermediate invariant mass dilepton production in Pb+Pb collisions at TeV is performed, using next-to-leading-order (NLO) thermal QCD…
