High-energy photons from passage of jets through Quark-Gluon plasma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the production of high-energy photons from Compton scattering and annihilation of a quark jet passing through a quark gluon plasma produced in a relativistic heavy ion collision. The contributions are large and reflect the momentum distribution of the jets and the initial conditions of the plasma.

Jet conversions in a quark-gluon plasma
Quark and gluon jets traversing through a quark-gluon plasma not only lose their energies but also can undergo flavor conversions. The conversion rates via the elastic q(q̄)g → gq(q̄) and the inelastic qq̄ ↔ gg scatterings are evaluated in the lowest order in QCD. Including both jet energy loss and conversions in the expanding quark-gluon plasma produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions, we ha...
متن کاملElliptic Flow of Rare High-Momentum Probes in Nuclear Collisions
In high energy nuclear collisions the leading parton of a jet can change flavor through interactions with the surrounding medium. This can considerably boost the relative yield of rare high momentum particles, like strange quarks and photons. We revisit these jet conversions and discuss implications for the azimuthal asymmetry v2 of rare probes. We predict that the v2 of kaons at RHIC falls sig...
متن کاملProbing quark gluon plasma with jets.
We study multiple scatterings of jets on constituents of quark gluon plasma and introduce energy–energy correlations to quantify their effects. The effects from a longitudinally expanding plasma on medium as well as high energy jets are found to be significant at both RHIC and LHC energies. Because jets escape from the plasma long before the completion of mixed phase, these effects are free fro...
متن کاملThe Jet Quenching in High Energy Nuclear Collisions and Quark-gluon Plasma
We investigate the energy loss of quark and gluon jets in quark-gluon plasma produced in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC energy. We use the physical characteristic of initial and mixed phases, which were found in effective quasiparticle model for SPS and RHIC energy [5]. At investigation of energy loss we take into account also the production of hot glue at first stage. The energy loss in expa...
متن کاملSearch for Quark-gluon Plasma and Jets Production in Ultra{relativistic Ion Collisions
We analyze the sensitivity of the collisional and radiative energy losses of hard par-tonic jets to the main parameters and space-time evolution of the dense matter, which is expected to be created in ultra{relativistic heavy ion collisions. The problem of \true\ QCD-jets recognition against the \false\ jets background (statistical uctuations of the transverse energy ux arising from a huge mult...
