Thermal photons and dileptons
The study of penetrating probes constitutes a key aspect of the relativistic heavy ion program. In the hadronic sector, jet quenching, for example, has been a striking revelation, and has contributed to expose the qualitatively different physics that appeared in the transition from the SPS to RHIC. In this context, electromagnetic radiation also defines a privileged class of observables owing m...
متن کاملDeconfinement and Chiral Symmetry Restoration
We illustrate why color deconfines when chiral symmetry is restored in gauge theories with quarks in the fundamental representation, and while these transitions do not need to coincide when quarks are in the adjoint representation, entanglement between them is still present. Introduction. One of the long-standing puzzles in theoretical physics is the relation between confinement and chiral symm...
متن کاملDileptons from Disoriented Chiral Condensates
Disoriented chiral condensates or long wavelength pionic oscillations and their interaction with the thermal environment can be a significant source of dileptons. We calculate the yield of such dilepton production within the linear sigma model, both in a quantal mean-field treatment and in a semi-classical approximation. We then illustrate the basic features of the dilepton spectrum in a schema...
متن کاملDeconfinement and Chiral Symmetry Restoration
We discuss the critical behaviour of strongly interacting matter close to the QCD phase transition. Emphasis is put on a presentation of results from lattice calculations that illustrate deconfining as well as chiral symmetry restoring features of the phase transition. We show that both transitions coincide in QCD while they fall apart in an SU(3) gauge theory coupled to adjoint fermions. We al...
متن کاملThermal dileptons at SPS energies
Abstract. Clear signs of excess dileptons above the known sources were found at the SPS since long. However, a real clarification of these observations was only recently achieved by NA60, measuring dimuons with unprecedented precision in 158A GeV In-In collisions. The excess mass spectrum in the region M<1 GeV is consistent with a dominant contribution from ππ → ρ → μμ annihilation. The associa...
