Effects of quark chemical equilibration on thermal photon elliptic flow
Akihiko Monnai
Large hadronic elliptic flow is considered as an evidence for the existence of a strongly-coupled QGP fluid in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. On the other hand, direct pho…
Elliptic flow of thermal photons in chemically non-equilibrated QCD medium
Akihiko Monnai
Heavy-ion experiments have recently revealed that azimuthal momentum anisotropy -- elliptic flow -- of direct photons from a QCD medium is a few times larger than hydrodynamic pred…
Medium-induced optical effects for prompt photons
Akihiko Monnai
Electromagnetic aspects of a QCD matter have been a hot topic in recent years. High-energy heavy-ion experiments revealed that flow harmonics of direct photons are not explained by…
Collinear parton splitting in early thermalization and chemical equilibration
Akihiko Monnai, Berndt Müller
Early local equilibration of a hot medium created in high-energy heavy ion collisions has been one of the long standing issues in hadron physics. The glasma model predicts that the…
Thermal photon with slow quark chemical equilibration
Akihiko Monnai
Elliptic flow of direct photons in high-energy heavy ion collisions has been a topic of great interest as it is experimentally found larger than most hydrodynamic expectations. I d…
