High-energy dileptons from an anisotropic quark-gluon plasma
We calculate leading-order dilepton yields from a quark-gluon plasma which has a timedependent anisotropy in momentum space. Such anisotropies can arise during the earliest stages of quark-gluon plasma evolution due to the rapid longitudinal expansion of the created matter. A phenomenological model for the proper time dependence of the parton hard momentum scale, phard , and the plasma anisotro...
متن کاملCollective Modes of an Anisotropic Quark - Gluon Plasma
We analyze the collective modes of high-temperature QCD in the case when there is an anisotropy in the momentum-space distribution function for the gluons. We perform a tensor decomposition of the gluon self-energy and solve the dispersion relations for both stable and unstable modes. Results are presented for a class of anisotropic distribution functions which can be obtained by stretching or ...
متن کاملPhoton production from an anisotropic quark-gluon plasma
We calculate photon production from a quark-gluon plasma which is anisotropic in momentum space including the Compton scattering, q(q̄) g → q(q̄) γ, and annihilation, q q̄ → g γ, processes. We show that for a quark-gluon plasma which has an oblate momentum-space anisotropy, 〈p2L〉 < 〈p 2 T 〉, the photon production rate has an angular dependence which is peaked transverse to the beam line. We propos...
متن کاملFermionic Collective Modes of an Anisotropic Quark-Gluon Plasma
Abstract We determine the fermionic collective modes of a quark-gluon plasma which is anisotropic in momentum space. We calculate the fermion self-energy in both the imaginaryand real-time formalisms and find that numerically and analytically (for two special cases) there are no unstable fermionic modes. In addition we demonstrate that in the hard-loop limit the Kubo-MartinSchwinger condition, ...
متن کاملModification of Z Boson Properties in Quark-Gluon Plasma
We calculate the change in the effective mass and width of a Z boson in the environment of a quark-gluon plasma under the conditions expected in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC. The change in width is predicted to be only about 1 MeV at a temperature of 1 GeV, compared to the natural width of 2490±7 MeV. The mass shift is even smaller. Hence no observable effects are to be expected. PACS numbers: 1...
