Photon 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 کاملBaryon Dissociation in a Strongly Coupled Plasma
Using the dual string theory, we study a circular baryonic configuration in a wind of strongly coupled N = 4 Yang-Mills plasma blowing in the plane of the baryon, before and after a quark has dissociated from it. A simple enough model that captures many interesting features is when there are four quarks in the baryon. As a step towards phenomenology, we compare representative dissociated config...
متن کاملDiffusion in a strongly coupled magnetized plasma.
A first-principles study of diffusion in a strongly coupled one-component plasma in a magnetic field B is presented. As in a weakly coupled plasma, the diffusion coefficient perpendicular to the field exhibits a Bohm-like 1/B behavior in the strong-field limit but its overall scaling is substantially different. The diffusion coefficient parallel to the field is strongly affected by the field as...
متن کاملViolation of the holographic viscosity bound in a strongly coupled anisotropic plasma.
We study the conductivity and shear viscosity tensors of a strongly coupled N=4 super-Yang-Mills plasma which is kept anisotropic by a θ parameter that depends linearly on one of the spatial dimensions. Its holographic dual is given by an anisotropic axion-dilaton-gravity background and has recently been proposed by Mateos and Trancanelli as a model for the preequilibrium stage of quark-gluon p...
متن کاملPhoton Splitting in Strongly Magnetized Plasma
The process of photon splitting, becomes allowed in the presence of strong magnetic field. We calculate the influence of magnetized plasma on the photon splitting absorption coefficient. We calculate the refraction coefficients and polarization vectors with the inclusion of the vacuum terms at an arbitrary value of the magnetic field, and then find photon splitting matrix element taking into ac...
