Photons from Quark Gluon Plasma and Hot Hadronic Matter
نویسنده
چکیده
The productions of real photons from quark gluon plasma and hot hadronic matter formed after the nucleus nucleus collisions at ultra-relativistic energies are discussed. The effects of the spectral shift of the hadrons at finite temperature on the production of photons are investigated. On the basis of the present analysis it is shown that the photon spectra measured by WA98 collaboration in Pb + Pb collisions at CERN SPS energies can be explained by both QGP as well as hadronic initial states if the spectral shift of hadrons at finite temperature is taken into account. Several other works on the analysis of WA98 photon data have also been briefly discussed.

It is believed that a novel state of matter Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) will be transiently produced if normal hadronic matter is subjected to sufficiently high temperature and/or density. We have investigated the possibility of QGP formation in the ultra-relativistic collisions of heavy ions through the electromagnetic probes photons and dileptons. The formulation of the real and virtual photon p...

The theory of thermal photon and dilepton emission from hot and dense hadronic matter, as well as from the Quark-Gluon Plasma, is reviewed in the context of extracting in-medium properties of the matter constituents. In phenomenological applications to ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions we focus on low transverse-momentum ”anomalies” as recently observed in photon and dilepton spectra by WA...

Relativistic heavy-ion collisions will soon allow the experimental study of hadronic matter at energy densities that will probably exceed that required to create a quark-gluon plasma. A quantitative understanding of the properties of a quark-gluon plasma is essential in order to determine whether it has been created. Because QCD is asymptotically free, the running coupling constant αs becomes s...

We estimate the probability that a hard nucleon-nucleon collision is able to nucleate a seed of quark{gluon plasma in the surrounding hot and dense hadronic matter formed during a central collision of two large nuclei at AGS energies. The probability of producing at least one such seed is on the order of 1-100%. We investigate the in uence of quark{gluon plasma formation on the observed multipl...
