The idea of using dilepton measurements to construct a phenomenology of the early pre-equilibrium phase of heavy-ion collisions has been recently posed [1,2]. Nevertheless, a full computation of pre-equilibrium radiation yields was still missing. In this work, we use QCD kinetic theory to compute dilepton production coming from the pre equilibrium phase of the Quark-Gluon Plasma created in...
Dilepton radiation is known to be an effective thermometer of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) [1]. In this study, we explore the possibility of using dilepton radiations as a QGP magnetometer. We calculate corrections to dilepton production rate at finite baryon chemical potential, in the presence of a time-dependent magnetic field typically found in heavy-ion collisions. At first order, such a...
Dileptons are produced throughout the entire evolution history of the medium. Owing to their electromagnetic coupling to strongly interacting matter, dileptons traverse the QGP medium unaltered after their production and carry information about their space-time points of production. The emissivity is correlated with the quark abundance in the collision system as well. Therefore, dileptons...
Probing the chiral symmetry restoration (CSR) is one of the main goals in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. The key phenomenon for probing the CSR is chiral mixing, where the vector meson mixes with the axial-vector meson in a medium via the reactions of $a_1+\pi \rightarrow \rho$ and $a_1 \rightarrow \rho+\pi$. In the upcoming experiments, probing the CSR via chiral mixing is highly...
