Photon production from an anisotropic quark-gluon plasma
We calculate photon production from a quark-gluon plasma which is anisotropic in momentum space including the Compton scattering, q(q̄) g → q(q̄) γ, and annihilation, q q̄ → g γ, processes. We show that for a quark-gluon plasma which has an oblate momentum-space anisotropy, 〈p2L〉 < 〈p 2 T 〉, the photon production rate has an angular dependence which is peaked transverse to the beam line. We propos...
متن کاملPhoton production from a quark-gluon plasma.
In-medium interactions of a particle in a hot plasma are considered in the framework of thermal field theory. The formalism to calculate gauge invariant rates for photon and dilepton production from the medium is given. In the application to a QED plasma, astrophysical consequences are pointed out. The photon production rate from strongly interacting quarks in the quark–gluon plasma, which migh...
متن کاملPhoton production by a quark-gluon plasma
Photon or dilepton production by a hot plasma is expected to reflect rather cleanly the state of the system. Indeed, in the collision of two heavy nuclei, the typical size of the system is much smaller than the mean free path of particles that feel only the electromagnetic interactions, which enables photons and leptons to escape freely. However, it has been realized recently that those rates a...
متن کاملHigh-energy dileptons from an anisotropic quark-gluon plasma
We calculate leading-order dilepton yields from a quark-gluon plasma which has a timedependent anisotropy in momentum space. Such anisotropies can arise during the earliest stages of quark-gluon plasma evolution due to the rapid longitudinal expansion of the created matter. A phenomenological model for the proper time dependence of the parton hard momentum scale, phard , and the plasma anisotro...
متن کاملSuppression of forward dilepton production from an anisotropic quark-gluon plasma
We calculate the rapidity dependence of leading-order medium dilepton yields resulting from a quark-gluon plasma which has a local time-dependent anisotropy in momentum space. We present a phenomenological model which includes temporal evolution of the plasma anisotropy parameter, ξ, and the hard momentum scale, phard. Our model interpolates between 1+1 dimensional collisionallybroadened expans...
