Photon Production in Hot and Dense Strongly Interacting Matter
نویسنده
چکیده
This text is meant as an introduction to the theoretical physics of photon emission in hot and dense strongly interacting matter, the principal application being relativistic nuclear collisions. We shall cover some of the results and techniques appropriate for studies at SPS, RHIC, and LHC energies.

Dense , Strongly - Interacting Matter : Strangeness in Heavy - Ion Reactions 1 - 10 A GeV
This talk reviews the physics of dense, strongly interacting matter. The newly acquired experimental data on strangeness production in heavy-ion reactions from 1-10 AGeV is used to probe the physics of in-medium properties of matter, multi-body collisions, and the search for the baryon-rich quark-gluon plasma.
متن کاملPhotons from nuclear collisions at RHIC energies
We model the hot and dense strongly interacting mater produced in high energy heavy ion collisions using relativistic hydrodynamics. Several different sources of real photons produced during these collisions are considered and their relative importance is assessed. We include contributions from QCD jets, which are allowed to loose and gain energy as they proceed through the hot matter. This is ...

Conditions are analysed when in dense and hot nuclear matter large amounts of Bose particles can be created. An intensive production of Bose particles is the main necessary condition for realizing their coherent emission similar to radiation from photon lasers. The consideration is based on the multichannel model of nuclear matter. Analysis shows that possible candidates for nuclear–matter lasi...
متن کاملLattice Simulations of the Thermodynamics of Strongly Interacting Elementary Particles and the Exploration of New Phases of Matter in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
At high temperatures or densities matter formed by strongly interacting elementary particles (hadronic matter) is expected to undergo a transition to a new form of matter the quark gluon plasma in which elementary particles (quarks and gluons) are no longer confined inside hadrons but are free to propagate in a thermal medium much larger in extent than the typical size of a hadron. The transiti...
متن کاملSoft photons from off-shell particles in a hot plasma.
Considering the propagation of off-shell particles in the framework of thermal field theory, we present the general formalism for the calculation of the production rate of soft photons and dileptons from a hot plasma. This approach is illustrated with an electrodynamic plasma. The photon production rate from strongly interacting quarks in the quark-gluon plasma, which might be formed in ultrare...
