Hot QCD white paper

M Arslandok, SA Bass, AA Baty, I Bautista… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
Hot QCD physics studies the nuclear strong force under extreme temperature and densities.
Experimentally these conditions are achieved via high-energy collisions of heavy ions at the …

Dilepton polarization as a signature of plasma anisotropy

M Coquet, M Winn, X Du, JY Ollitrault, S Schlichting - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We propose the angular distribution of lepton pairs produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion
collisions as a probe of thermalization of the quark-gluon plasma. We focus on dileptons …

Pre-equilibrium photons from the early stages of heavy-ion collisions

O Garcia-Montero, A Mazeliauskas, P Plaschke… - Journal of High Energy …, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We use QCD kinetic theory to compute photon production in the chemically
equilibrating Quark-Gluon Plasma created in the early stages of high-energy heavy-ion …

Illuminating early-stage dynamics of heavy-ion collisions through photons at RHIC BES energies

C Shen, A Noble, JF Paquet, B Schenke… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
Heavy-ion collisions at $\sqrt {s_\mathrm {NN}}\sim 10$ GeV probe the QCD phase diagram
at large baryon densities. Because the longitudinal Lorentz contraction is small at these …

Scaling of pre-equilibrium dilepton production in QCD Kinetic Theory

O Garcia-Montero, P Plaschke, S Schlichting - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We use QCD kinetic theory to compute dilepton production coming from the pre-equilibrium
phase of the Quark-Gluon Plasma created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. We …

Effective temperatures of the QGP from thermal photon and dilepton production

O Massen, G Nijs, M Sas, W van der Schee… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Thermal electromagnetic radiation is emitted by the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) throughout
its space-time evolution, with production rates that depend characteristically on the …

Dielectrons at the LHC--Chances and challenges

H Appelshäuser - arxiv preprint arxiv:2404.15064, 2024 - arxiv.org
Dielectrons are unique observables in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Thanks to their
penetrating nature, they carry information from all stages of the collision and can provide …
