Elliptic flow of thermal photons in relativistic nuclear collisions.
We predict the transverse momentum (p(T)) dependence of elliptic flow of thermal photons for Au + Au collisions at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. We model the system hydrodynamically, with a thermalized quark-gluon plasma at early times followed by hadronization and decoupling. Photons are emitted throughout the expansion history. Contrary to hadron elliptic flow, which increases mono...
متن کاملAzimuthal Asymmetry of Prompt Photons in Nuclear Collisions
The azimuthal elliptic asymmetry v2 observed in heavy ion collisions, is usually associated with properties of the medium created in the final state. We compute the azimuthal asymmetry which is due to multiple interactions of partons at the initial stage of nuclear collisions, and which is also present in pA collisions. In our approach the main source of azimuthal asymmetry is the combination o...
متن کاملDetermination of Azimuthal Anisotropy of π from the Measured Anisotropy of Photons in Ultra-Relativistic Nuclear Collisions
A method is suggested to deduce the anisotropy in neutral pions by measuring the azimuthal anisotropy of photons in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions. The ratio of the estimated anisotropy in photons to the anisotropy in neutral pions is seen to scale with a parameter which depends on photon multiplicity and anisotropy. This parameter can be determined from experimental data.
متن کاملDirect Photons from Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions
Direct photons have been proposed as a promising signature for the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Recently WA98 presented the first data on direct photons in Pb+Pb-collisions at SPS. At the same time RHIC started with its experimental program. The discovery of the QGP in these experiments relies on a comparison of data with theoretical predictions for Q...
متن کاملTwo particle rapidity, transverse momentum, and azimuthal correlations in relativistic nuclear collisions and transverse radial expansion
At the very first stage of an ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collision new particles are produced in individual nucleon-nucleon collisions. In the transverse plane, all particles from a single NN collision are initially located at the same position. The subsequent transverse radial expansion of the system creates strong position-momentum correlations and leads to characteristic rapidity, tr...
