Production and Elliptic Flow of Dileptons and Photons in a Matrix Model of the Quark-Gluon Plasma
Production and Elliptic Flow of Dileptons and Photons in a Matrix Model of the Quark-Gluon Plasma
We consider a nonperturbative approach to the thermal production of dileptons and photons at temperatures near the critical temperature in QCD. The suppression of colored excitations at low temperature is modeled by including a small value of the Polyakov loop, in a ``semi''-quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Comparing the semi-QGP to the …
