Non-perturbative quark production and transport in the evolving glasma: the WAGASHI event generator
Nicholas J. Benoit, Chiho Nonaka, Hidetoshi Taya
We study non-perturbative quark-antiquark pair production and the subsequent quark dynamics in the earliest glasma stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. For that, we develop…
Thermal dileptons to probe the baryon-rich QCD matter in the forward region of LHC energy heavy-ion collisions
Motomi Oya, Nicholas J. Benoit, Chiho Nonaka +2
We investigate thermal dilepton production from a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) with finite baryon chemical potential () in central Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\text{NN}…
Chemical Equilibration and Thermalization of Quark-Gluon Plasma in a Parton Cascade Model with 2-to-3 Quark Interactions
Cendikia Abdi, Chiho Nonaka
We investigate the thermalization, chemical equilibration, and hydrodynamization behavior of the far-from-equilibrium, gluon-dominated quark gluon plasma (QGP) produced in Au+Au co…
Investigating effects of the electrical conductivity of QCD matter on charge-dependent directed flow
Nicholas J. Benoit, Takahiro Miyoshi, Chiho Nonaka +1
Charge dependent directed flow is an important observable of electromagnetic fields in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We demonstrate how the difference in charge dependent dire…
Estimate of virtual photon polarization due to the intense magnetic field in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC energies
Kento Kimura, Nicholas J. Benoit, Ken-Ichi Ishikawa +2
We present the first numerical calculation of the virtual photon polarization and assess the feasibility of measuring the polarization via the anisotropic decay $γ^{*} \rightarrow…
Fate of the - mixing in dilepton production
Azumi Sakai, Masayasu Harada, Chiho Nonaka +3
We investigate the effect of chiral mixing on dilepton production by combining the in-medium spectral function in the chiral effective field theory with the state-of-the-art fluid…
