我们研究了在相对论重离子对撞机(RHIC)上,在200 GeV/核子的能量下,中心Au-Au碰撞中直接光子的产生,考虑了所有可能的来源。我们对待热光子发射的夸克胶子等离子体和强子气体,基于一个现实的热力学膨胀。硬光子从基本核子散射包括:原始的基本散射肯定是占主导地位的大横动量,但也不能忽略二次光子从喷流碎裂和喷流光子转换。在这两种情况下,我们研究的能量损失的影响,我们也考虑从韧致辐射胶子通过碎裂发出的光子。
We investigate the production of direct photons in central Au-Au collisions at the relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) at 200 GeV per nucleon, considering all possible sources. We treat thermal photons emitted from a quark-gluon plasma and from a hadron gas, based on a realistic thermodynamic expansion. Hard photons from elementary nucleon-nucleon scatterings are included: primordial elementary scatterings are certainly dominant at large transverse momenta, but also secondary photons from jet fragmentation and jet-photon conversion cannot be ignored. In both cases we study the effect of energy loss, and we also consider photons emitted from bremsstrahlung gluons via fragmentation.
