Description
In this talk we investigate the information carried by the large elliptic flow of direct photons, observed at RHIC and LHC, in the frame work of (3+1)-dimensional ideal hydrodynamical model constrained with hadronic data.
It is found that the transverse momentum spectra of direct photons can be explained much more easily, while a good explanation of the observed elliptic flow of direct photons can only be reached if the two time scales, thermal and chemical equilibrium are chosen properly, ie, about $1/3$~fm/c and 2~fm/c, respectively.
The realization of thermal and chemical equilibrium are hot questions in relativistic heavy ion physics. The elliptic flow of direct photon serves as a more strict clock to those questions than other observables.
High order harmonics of direct photons from PbPb collisions at 2.76~TeV are also predicted based on event-by-event fluctuation in this work, which look very similar to those of hadrons.
