High-energy photons from passage of jets through Quark-Gluon plasma. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We calculate the production of high-energy photons from Compton scattering and annihilation of a quark jet passing through a quark gluon plasma produced in a relativistic heavy ion collision. The contributions are large and reflect the momentum distribution of the jets and the initial conditions of the plasma.
