摘要:

部分子相空间分布中的关联在相对论性重离子碰撞的初始阶段(物质稠密且远离平衡)起着重要作用。在热介质中产生的光子主要来自双部分子初态,因此对相空间分布中的双粒子关联敏感。本文研究非平衡QCD物质中的对关联如何影响介质内光子产生。我们将双粒子分布分解为$\mathcal F_{ab}=f_a f_b+g_{ab}$,其中$g_{ab}$是对关联。聚焦于$2\to2$夸克-反夸克湮灭和康普顿通道,通过在谱基中展开单粒子分布和对关联来计算领头对数光子谱,从而适应广泛的双粒子分布。对于旋转不变介质,我们发现对关联的相对角模式对光子谱产生变号修正,其幅度可与因子化贡献相当。因此,光子谱虽然是单粒子可观测量,但可以测量发射介质的动量关联,从而探测早期流体动力学化。

英文摘要:

Correlations in the phase-space distribution of partons play an important role in the initial stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions, where the matter is dense and far from equilibrium. Photons produced in the hot medium, which predominantly originate from two-parton initial states, are sensitive to two-particle correlations in the phase-space distribution. In this work, we study how pair correlations in non-equilibrium QCD matter affect in-medium photon production. We decompose the two-particle distribution as $\mathcal F_{ab}=f_a f_b+g_{ab}$, where $g_{ab}$ is the pair correlation. Focusing on the $2\to2$ quark--antiquark annihilation and Compton channels, we compute the leading-logarithmic photon spectrum by expanding the single-particle distribution and pair correlation in a spectral basis, thereby accommodating a broad class of two-particle distributions. For a rotationally invariant medium, we find that relative-angle modes of the pair correlation generate sign-changing modifications to the photon spectrum, with magnitudes that can be comparable to the factorized contribution. Thus, photon spectra, although single-particle observables, can measure the momentum correlations of the emitting medium and therefore probe the early-time hydrodynamization.
