Dilepton and photon production in the presence of a nontrivial Polyakov loop
Dilepton and photon production in the presence of a nontrivial Polyakov loop
We calculate the production of dileptons and photons in the presence of a nontrivial Polyakov loop in QCD. This is applicable to the semi-Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), at temperatures above but near the critical temperature for deconfinement. The Polyakov loop is small in the semi-QGP, and near unity in the …
