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…

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…

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…
