Hadron production from a hadronizing quark - gluon plasma

Rapidity distributions of dileptons from a hadronizing quark-gluon plasma.

It has been predicted that dilepton production may be used as a quark-gluon plasma probe. We calculate the rapidity distributions of thermal dileptons produced by an evolving quark-gluon plasma assuming a longitudinal scaling expansion with initial conditions locally determined from the hadronic rapidity density. These distributions are compared with Drell-Yan production and semileptonic charm ...

From quark-gluon plasma to hadron spectra

Results on initial transverse energy production based on NLO perturbative QCD calculation with final state saturation of produced minijets are used to fix the initial energy density of produced matter. Assuming rapid thermalization, this provides the initial conditions for a hydrodynamic description of the expansion of final matter. Given a prescription of the the decoupling of particles from t...

Microcanonical treatment of hadronizing the quark-gluon plasma.

Photon production from a quark-gluon plasma.

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 migh...
