Soft Photon Emission as a Sign of Sharp Transition in Quark-gluon Plasma 1
نویسنده
چکیده
Photon emission arising in the course of transition between the states of quark-gluon and hadron plasma has been considered. Single-photon distributions and two-photon correlations in central rapidity region have been calculated for heavy ion collisions at high energies. It has been found that opposite side two-photon correlations can serve as a sign of sharp transitions between the states of strongly interaction matter.

Nonequilibrium Photons as a Signature of Quark-hadron Phase Transition
We study the nonequilibrium photon production in the quark-hadron phase transition, using the Friedberg-Lee type solitons as a working model for quarkhadron physics. We propose that to search for nonequilibrium photons in the direct photon measurements of heavy-ion collisions may be a characteristic test of the transition from the quark-gluon to hadronic phases. PACS numbers: 12.38.Mh, 25.75.-q...

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 mig...
متن کاملNNLO results for heavy quark and direct photon production near threshold
Heavy quark and direct photon production in hadronic collisions are processes of great interest. The discovery of the top has increased efforts in the calculation of heavy quark production cross sections while direct photon production is important for determinations of gluon distributions. Near threshold for the production of the final state in these processes one can resum logarithmic correcti...
متن کاملInduced photon emission from quark jets in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions
We study the induced photon bremsstrahlung from a fast quark produced in AA-collisions due to multiple scattering in quark-gluon plasma. For RHIC and LHC conditions the induced photon spectrum is sharply peaked at photon energy close to the initial quark energy. In this region the contribution of the induced radiation to the photon fragmentation function exceeds the ordinary vacuum radiation. C...
متن کاملResults on Photon Production in Au+Au Collisions at RHIC
The aim of this analysis is to search for direct photons, i.e. photons that are not produced in hadron decays such as π → γγ or η → γγ. Direct photons are generally subdivided into prompt photons from initial hard parton scatterings and thermal photons from a possible quark-gluon plasma and from the hadron gas. Prompt photons are produced before a possible quark-gluon plasma has formed. Above a...
