Photon Emission from a Momentum Anisotropic Quark-Gluon Plasma
Chun Shen, Jean-Francois Paquet, Ulrich Heinz +1
We compute the photon emission rate from a quark-gluon plasma with an anisotropic particle momentum distribution induced by a non-vanishing local shear pressure tensor. Our calcula…
The iEBE-VISHNU code package for relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Chun Shen, Zhi Qiu, Huichao Song +3
The iEBE-VISHNU code package performs event-by-event simulations for relativistic heavy-ion collisions using a hybrid approach based on (2+1)-dimensional viscous hydrodynamics coup…
Event-by-event direct photon anisotropic flow in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Chun Shen, Jean-Francois Paquet, Jia Liu +3
We consider directly emitted and hadronic decay photons from event-by-event hydrodynamic simulations. We compute the direct photon anisotropic flow coefficients and compare with re…
Electromagnetic fingerprints of the Little Bang
Ulrich W. Heinz, Jia Liu, Chun Shen
Measurements of thermal photons emitted from the rapidly expanding hot and dense medium ("Little Bang") formed in ultra relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and their current theoret…
Thermal photon anisotropic flow serves as a quark-gluon plasma viscometer
Chun Shen, Ulrich Heinz, Jean-Francois Paquet +1
Photons are a penetrating probe of the hot and dense medium created in heavy-ion collisions. We present state-of-the-art calculations of viscous photon emission from nuclear collis…
