Jorge A Robles (University of California (UCD))26/05/2011, 15:00Electromagnetic probesParallelThe unprecedented centre-of-mass energy available at the LHC offers unique opportunities for studying the properties of the strongly-interacting QCD matter created in PbPb collisions at extreme temperatures and very low parton momentum fractions. With its high precision, large acceptance for tracking and calorimetry, and a trigger scheme that allows the analysis of almost each minimum bias...Go to contribution page

Dr Rikard Sandström (Max Planck Institut)26/05/2011, 15:20Electromagnetic probesParallelA broad program of measurements using heavy ion collisions is underway in ATLAS, with the aim of studying the properties of QCD matter at high temperatures and densities. Leptonic observables are essential tools for the study of heavy ion collisions since leptons do not interact strongly and thus pass through the strongly-coupled medium unaffected. The centrality dependence of J/psi and Z...Go to contribution page

Jie Zhao (SINAP/LBNL)26/05/2011, 15:40Electromagnetic probesParallelDilepton distributions have been proposed as one of the penetrating probes for hot and dense nuclear matter created in high-energy nuclear collisions. Due to their relatively small final-state interaction cross-sections with the hot/dense environment, dileptons bring us direct information of the created matter in such collision. Since dileptons are created over all stages of heavy ion...Go to contribution page

Mihael Makek (Weizmann Institute of Science)26/05/2011, 16:00Electromagnetic probesParallelDileptons are valuable probes in the investigation of the hot and dense matter formed in heavy ion collisions, since they interact only electromagnetically and thus their path from the interaction region to the detectors is almost undisturbed. They can provide information about the matter properties in the early stages of the collisions where deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration are...Go to contribution page

Rupa Chatterjee (University of Jyvaskyla)26/05/2011, 16:20Electromagnetic probesParallelThermal photon emission is widely believed to reflect properties of the earliest, hottest evolution stage of the medium created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Previous computations of photon emission have been carried out using a hydrodynamical medium description with smooth, averaged initial conditions. Recently, more sophisticated hydrodynamical models which calculate...Go to contribution page

Dr Edouard Kistenev (Brookhaven National Laboratory)26/05/2011, 16:40Electromagnetic probesParallelE.Kistenev for the PHENIX Collaboration Direct photon production in heavy ion collisions in PHENIX experiment at RHIC Among the observables used to probe the high temperature and high density phase of heavy nucleus collisions direct photons are considered of particular interest. At LO direct photons are produced in quark-gluon Compton scattering and quark-antiquark annihilation, the...Go to contribution page

Prof. Charles Gale (McGill University)26/05/2011, 17:00Electromagnetic probesParallelWe investigate the yield and the azimuthal anisotropy of produced photons in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and at LHC energies. We study the photons produced from a variety of sources, including those from primordial nucleon-nucleon collisions, from thermal partons, from fragmenting QCD jets, from jets interacting with thermal partons, and from thermal hadrons. We study the interplay of those...Go to contribution page
