Direct photon production in heavy-ion collisions Ben-Wei Zhang T-16, Los Alamos National Laboratory Collaborator: Ivan Vitev

Motivations

Hard Probes: initial-state VS final-state QGP signatures help to tell whether a new kind of matter is produced in heavy-ion collisions. From SPS to RHIC, and to LHC, the colliding energy is larger and larger, hard probes will become more and more important: jet quenching, J/psi suppression, … Applications of hard probes: asymptotic freedom, factorization…. We need observables to constrain the initial-state nuclear effects in order to enjoy the power of hard probes.

Photon Production God’s answer: God Said, “Let there be light”. And there was light. God saw that the light was good, … From HOLY BIBLE In physicists’ eyes: 1) Photon doesn’t strongly interact with the produced medium (  s ), so direct photon is a good tool to study cold nuclear matter effect (Cronin, shadowing…) 2) Large enhancement due to photon production in the QGP: medium-induced photon emission in the QGP, jet-photon conversion in the QGP??

A systematic study of direct photon Production in heavy ion collisions Ivan Vitev and BWZ, arXiv: Different systems: d+Cu, d+Au, Cu+Cu, Au+Au. Different center of mass energies: 62.4GeV, 200GeV. Different hot nuclear medium effects: jet quenching, photon emission, jet-photon conversion. Different cold nuclear effects: Cronin effect, shadowing effect, cold nuclear energy loss, isospin effect.

Medium-induced photon emission An energetic parton propagating in hot medium may radiate photons as well as gluons: another source of photon production Induced gluonsInduced photons Zakharov, JETP Lett. 80(2004)1. It has been argued that medium-induced photon emission may give large enhancement to photon production.

Gluon versus Photon Theoretical approaches developed to describe gluon emission cannot be directly generalized to photon radiation. Gluon radiative amplitude for single scattering of a fast on-shell quark: Without three-gluon vertex, is photon emission a simple exercise ??

Photon emission Photon bremsstrahlung contributions vanish beyond second order in opacity.

photon emission: analytic results Two limits; interference is important. Leading contribution is L-dependence, with non-linear corrections with L. Number of interactions =

Photon emission: numerical results

Jet-photon conversion in QGP High-energy photon could be produced by conversion of a jet passing through the QGP due to jet-thermal interaction. R. Fries et al., PRL90,132301(2003)

Medium modified FF Effective fragmentation functions for obtaining photons from partons are: Jet quenching Photon emission Jet conversion f(t) gives the time dependence of radiative energy loss.

Cold nuclear effects (I) Initial-state energy loss: partons may also lose energy in cold nuclei before hard scattering. I. Vitev, PRC 75(2007) due to energy fluctuations Shadowing effect: is calculated from the coherent final-state parton interactions. Qiu, Vitev, PRL 93(2004)262301; Qiu, Vitev, PLB 632(2006)507.

EMC effect: use the parametrization by EKS. Isospin effect: Direct photon cross-sections for p+p, p+n and n+n are different ( p= uud, n= udd ): different electric charges of u and d quark (  e q 2 ). Cronin effect: Cold nuclear effects (II) Eskola, Kolhinen, Salgado, EPJC 9(1999)61. I. Vitev, PLB 562(2003)36.

Numerical results

Direct photon in d+A collisions When p T < 6 GeV, Cronin effect is dominant. When p T > 6 GeV, isospin effect is very important. Initial-state energy loss contributes substantially. When p T ~15 GeV, nuclear effects suppress direct photon produ. by 20-40%. Nuclear effects are more pronounced at 62.4GeV. Big error bars in data don’t give tight constraints on different nuclear effects.

Direct photon in A+A collisions (I) Direct photon prod. is dominated by cold nuclear effects and amplified by two large nuclei. At small p T, R AA > R dA and R AuAu > R CuCu while at high p T, R AA < R dA and R AuAu < R CuCu. Nuclear effects in larger nuclear systems are larger. Large Cronin enhancement is excluded.

Direct photon in A+A collisions (II) Incoherent photon emission is ruled out. Jet conversion contributes at p T < 5 GeV, ~ 25%. Medium-induced photon is limited to ~ 10%. At high p T region, total enhancement contribution is found to be ~5%. Reduction of fragment. photons contributes at large p T. No large enhancement of direct photon production due to medium-induced photon emission and jet- photon conversion.

Summary We derived the medium-induced photon production in GLV formalism: coherent interference will strongly suppress medium-induced photon bremsstrahlung. We study direct photon production systematically in different nuclear sizes with different colliding energies by including many different nuclear effects consistently: 1) Contributions of photons created via final-state interactions is limited to ~35% for 2GeV< p T < 5GeV, and about ~5% at high p T.. 2) Cold-nuclear effects dominate in the whole range. Cronin effect is dominant p T 6 GeV as well as initial-energy loss.

In the abode of light are the origins of truth, and from the source of darkness are the origins of error. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Thank you!

We don’t consider… Thermal photon production in the QGP: We focus on direct photon production with large p T, and neglect thermal photon production, which gives contribution only to photon production at low p T. Thermal photon production in hadronic gas: ……

QCD QGP It would be interesting to explore new phenomena by distributing high energy or high nuclear density over a relatively large volume. T. D. Lee Lattice QCD predicts phase of thermal QCD matter with sharp rise in number of degrees of freedom near T c =170MeV.
