Parallel Session II: EM Probes (II)
- Lijuan Ruan
Photons radiated in heavy-ion collisions are a penetrating probe, and as such can play an important role in the determination of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) transport coefficients. In the first part of the talk we will present a calculation of the bulk viscous correction to photon production through two-to-two scattering, complementing a previous study involving the shear viscosity [1]. The...
We investigate photon production in the non-equilibrium partonic transport approach BAMPS (Boltzmann Approach to Multi-Parton Scatterings). BAMPS serves as a microscopic tool to study expanding fireballs, employing a stochastic method to solve the relativistic 3+1d Boltzmann equation for quarks, gluons, photons and dileptons. The algorithm is able to closely reproduce the leading order photon...
Low mass dielectrons are important probes of the hot and dense QCD medium created in heavy-ion collisions, since the production of low mass dielectrons is sensitive to
the thermodynamical properties of the medium and chiral symmetry restoration in the medium.
The ALICE experiment at the LHC has measured low mass dielectrons in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and p-Pb collisions at...
