2 Elena Bratkovskaya (Uni. Frankfurt)2 Electromagnetic probes: photons and dileptons  Advantages: dileptons and real photons are emitted from different stages of the reaction and not effected by final- state interactions dileptons and real photons are emitted from different stages of the reaction and not effected by final- state interactions provide undistorted information about their production channels provide undistorted information about their production channels promising signal of QGP – ‚thermal‘ photons and dileptons promising signal of QGP – ‚thermal‘ photons and dileptons  Disadvantages:  low emission rate  production from hadronic corona  many production sources which cannot be individually disentangled in experimental data  Requires theoretical models which describe the dynamics of heavy-ion collisions during the whole time evolution!  Requires theoretical models which describe the dynamics of heavy-ion collisions during the whole time evolution!

13 Elena Bratkovskaya (Uni. Frankfurt)13 Bremsstrahlung – theoretical uncertainties  Uncertainties in the Bremsstrahlung channels in the previous PHSD results : C. Gale, J. Kapusta, Phys. Rev. C 35 (1987) 2107  Soft Photon Approximation (SPA): m 1 +m 2  m 1 +m 2  m 1 +m 2  m 1 +m 2  2) no experimental constraints on m+m and m+B differential elastic cross sections  Bremsstrahlung: seen at SPS - WA98 1) based on the Soft-Photon-Approximation (SPA) (factorization = strong x EM) Firebal model: Liu, Rapp, Nucl. Phys. A 96 (2007) 101  effective chiral model for      bremsstrahlung gives larger contribution than SPA HSD: E. B., Kiselev, Sharkov, PR C78 (2008) 034905 using SPA  mm and mB Bremsstrahlung is an important source of soft photons at SPS energies! ( used  el mm =10mb )

14 Elena Bratkovskaya (Uni.

15 Elena Bratkovskaya (Uni. Frankfurt)15 PHSD: new photon spectra at RHIC beyond SPA   Direct photon spectrum (min. bias) Linnyk et al., in preparation Linnyk et al., in preparation Linnyk et al., PRC88 (2013) 034904; PRC 89 (2014) 034908 Linnyk et al., PRC88 (2013) 034904; PRC 89 (2014) 034908  m+m bremsstrahlung based on the Soft-Photon-Approximation (SPA)  m+m bremsstrahlung based on the chiral OBE model  enhancement of low p T yield  reduction of high p T yield from m+m bremsstrahlung  m+m (and m+B) bremsstrahlung dominates photon spectra at low p T

16 Elena Bratkovskaya (Uni. Frankfurt)16 Photon p T spectra at RHIC for different centralities PHSD predictions: O. Linnyk et al, Phys. Rev. C 89 (2014) 034908 PHENIX data - arXiv:1405.3940 from talk by S. Mizuno at QM‘2014  mm and mB bremsstrahlung is dominant in peripheral collisions in the PHSD calculations PHSD  PHSD approximately reproduces the centrality dependence of photon spectra  How to separate hadronic and partonic contributions ?  Look at the centrality dependence of photon yield!

17 Elena Bratkovskaya (Uni. Frankfurt)17 Centrality dependence of the ‚thermal‘ photon yield  PHSD: scaling of the thermal photon yield with N part  with  ~1.5  similar results from viscous hydro: (2+1)d VISH2+1:  (HG) ~1.46,  (QGP) ~2,  (total) ~1.7 O. Linnyk et al, Phys. Rev. C 89 (2014) 034908 PHSD predictions:  Hadronic channels scale as ~ N part 1.5  Partonic channels scale as ~N part 1.75 (‘Thermal’ photon yield = direct photons - pQCD) PHENIX (arXiv:1405.3940): scaling of thermal photon yield vs centrality: dN/dy ~ N part  with  ~1.48+0.08  What do we learn? Indications for a dominant hadronic origin of thermal photon production?!

18 Elena Bratkovskaya (Uni. Frankfurt)18 1) v 2 (  incl ) = v 2 (   ) - inclusive photons dominanty stem from   decays  HSD (without QGP) underestimates v 2 of hadrons and inclusive photons by a factor of 2, wheras the PHSD model with QGP is consistent with exp. data Are the direct photons a barometer of the QGP? PHSD: Linnyk et al., PRC88 (2013) 034904; PRC 89 (2014) 034908 2) v 2 (  dir ) of direct photons in PHSD underestimates the PHENIX data : v 2 (  QGP ) is very small, but QGP contribution is up to 50% of total yield  lowering flow v 2 (  QGP ) is very small, but QGP contribution is up to 50% of total yield  lowering flow  Do we see the QGP pressure in v 2 (  ) if the photon productions is dominated by hadronic sources? HSD(no QGP)  PHSD: v 2 (  dir ) comes from mm and mB bremsstrahlung ! Direct photons (inclusive(=total) – decay) :  The QGP causes the strong elliptic flow of photons indirectly, by enhancing the v 2 of final hadrons due to the partonic interactions

19 Elena Bratkovskaya (Uni. Frankfurt)19 Photons from PHSD at LHC  Is the considerable elliptic flow of direct photons at the LHC also of hadronic origin as for RHIC?!  The photon elliptic flow at LHC is lower than at RHIC due to a larger relative QGP contribution / longer QGP phase. PHSD: v 2 of inclusive photons Preliminary Preliminary PHSD- preliminary: Olena Linnyk PHSD: direct photons  LHC (similar to RHIC): hadronic photons dominate spectra and v 2
