强耦合各向异性等离子体中的热光子产生

Thermal photon production in a strongly coupled anisotropic plasma

Leonardo Patino, Diego Trancanelli

摘要:

在重离子碰撞中产生的光子几乎不受干扰地从周围介质中逃逸,因此代表了对发射点处的条件的极好探测。利用规范/引力对偶性,计算了N=4的各向异性强耦合等离子体中的光子产生率,其中Nf<<Nc夸克味.我们考虑相对于各向异性方向的光子动量的任意取向,以及各向异性的任意值。本文给出了两个电磁流的关联函数和电导率的结果。这些量可以大于或小于各向同性量,这取决于光子的传播方向和偏振。然而,总的生产率总是大于各向同性的生产率,与频率、传播方向和各向异性的值无关。

英文摘要:

Photons produced in heavy ion collisions escape virtually unperturbed from the surrounding medium, thus representing an excellent probe of the conditions at the emission point. Using the gauge/gravity duality, we calculate the rate of photon production in an anisotropic, strongly coupled N=4 plasma with Nf<<Nc quark flavors. We consider arbitrary orientations of the photon momentum with respect to the anisotropic direction, as well as arbitrary values of the anisotropy. We present results for the correlation functions of two electromagnetic currents and for the electric conductivity. These quantities can be larger or smaller than the isotropic ones, depending on the direction of propagation and polarization of the photons. The total production rate is however always larger than the isotropic one, independently of the frequency, direction of propagation, and value of the anisotropy.
