Elliptic Flow of Thermal Photons/Dileptons

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...

Elliptic flow from thermal photons with magnetic field in holography

We compute the elliptic flow v2 of thermal photons in a strongly coupled plasma with constant magnetic field via gauge/gravity duality. The D3/D7 embedding is applied to generate the contributions from massive quarks. By considering the cases in 2+1 flavor SYM analogous to the photon production in QGP, we obtain the thermal-photon v2, which is qualitatively consistent with the direct-photon v2 ...

elliptic flow ? ∗

We can establish a new picture, the perfect fluid strongly coupled quark gluon plasma (sQGP) core and the dissipative hadronic corona, of the space-time evolution of produced matter in relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC. It is also shown that the picture works well also in the forward rapidity region through an analysis based on a new class of the hydro-kinetic model and is a manifestati...

Deconfinement 1 Elliptic Flow

This is an attempt to summarize the talks given at the session on Deconfinement in the Conference “Quark Confinement and hadron spectrum”. This talk covers the following topics: Elliptic flow and evidence of nearly perfect fluid of the created matter; High Transverse momentum production, propagation of jets and energy loss; Heavy quarqonia in dense QCD matter; Phase transition, Multiplicity flu...
