Description
In high energy heavy ion collisions, both thermal and hydrodynamical
models have been applied quite successfully to describe single particle
observables. Here we investigate a rather different approach: we analyze
the classical electromagnetic radiation of an accelerating point
charge moving on a straight line trajectory. Depending on the duration
of accelerations, rapidity distributions of photons emerge, resembling
the ones obtained in the framework of hydrodynamical models by Landau
or Bjorken. Experimentally observable differences between our approach
and spectra obtained from hydrodynamical models are also discussed.
