Photon production and rate l  Photon production rate can be written by

photon self energy and Bose distribution l  At higher pT (E>>T), the slope of the

distribution tells the temperature of the system

–  When including hard component, one may have to use Tsallis function instead of Bose

l  L. McLerran and B. Schenke, 1504.07223 l  Absolute yield is dependent on

production processes included –  Self energy is weakly dependent on E/T –  In order to compare with data, time/

temperature profile of the system (simple Bjorken picture, fireball model, etc..)

l  Experimental side –  Measure absolute yield as a function of E –  Ideally, one would like to measure the yield

directly as a function of time, and separately for different processes, but it’s impossible

–  However, other differential measurements (flow, HBT, etc.) may help to disentangles the processes

External conversion of photons

l  Look for external conversion of photons at the HBD

l  Measure the ratio of inclusive to background photons by:

l  Tag photons as coming from π0 decay

l  other decays accounted for with a cocktail (as in the internal analysis)

Thermal photon spectra l  Thermal photon spectra are

obtained by subtracting hard photons from all direct photon spectra

–  Hard photon contribution is estimated from p+p times Ncoll

l  Fitting to low pT region gives T~240MeV/c, almost independent of centrality

l  The Slope parameter reflects the convolution of the instantaneous rates with the time-dependent temperature.

–  One has to assume time profile to obtain the temperature at given time.

Integrated thermal photon yield l  Npart dependence of integrated yield has same slope even as the integration

range is varied –  dN/dy ~Npart

α: α= 1.31+/- 0.07 (stat) +/- 0.03 (syst)

l  Possible difference between data and model may be from more HG contribution in data?

Recent result on photon v2 and v3

l  Some centrality dependence in v2, weak dependence in v3 –  Similar trend as for charged hadrons (PRL 107, 252301 (2011)) and π0.

l  General trend to note: v3 ~ v2/2

Puzzle on direct photons remains l  Large yield

–  Emission from the early stage where temperature is high

l  Large elliptic flow (v2) –  Emission from the late stage where the collectivity is sufficiently built up

HG+QGP+pQCD

l  H. vHees et al., PRC 84, 054906(2011)

l  Included Hadron Gas interaction (HG), QGP and pQCD contribution with fireball time profile

–  HG includes resonance decays and hadron-hadron scattering that produce photons

l  Blue shift of the HG spectra is included

l  Two lines in the v2 calculation correspond to different parameterization of pQCD component

l  No v3 (should be possible)

PHSD model l  Parton-hadron string

dynamics

l  O. Linnyk et al., PRC 89, 034908(2014)

l  Including as much hadron-

hadron interactions as possible in HG phase, using Boltzmann transport

l  Thermal photon from QGP is also included

–  qg, qbar incoherent scattering + LPM

l  Latest paper (1504.05699) describes v3 for 0-20% very nicely, but no calculation so far for 20-40%

A latest Hydro model

l  C. Shen et al., PRC 91, 024908 (2015)

l  Thermal photon contribution calculated by 3+1D Hydro including viscous correction

l  Two Initial conditions are considered

l  v2 and v3 are for thermal + pQCD photons

l  Blue shift effect is naturally included in the hydro-evolution

Slow chemical freezeout

l  A. Monnai, PRC90, 021901(2014)

l  We assumed that this calculation is for Minimum Bias

–  More details in Akihiko’s talk.

l  Slowing chemical freezeout would gain more time for developing larger flow

l  Both spectra and v2 are from this contribution only

–  Neither pQCD nor HG contribution is included

–  No v3 yet

Semi-QGP l  Photons from semi-QGP is

assessed together with HG –  C. Gale et al., PRL114,

072301 + priv.comm. with Y Hidaka and J-F. Paquet

l  Definition of semi-QGP is

the QGP around Tc –  Photon contributions are

evaluated at each T –  T-dep. Polyakov loop is

taken into account, and summed over Ti>T>Tc

l  Annihilation and Compton processes around the hadronization time are naturally included

–  More in Shu Lin’s talk

l  Add some v2 and v3 on top of HG contribution

–  Still HG contribution is large (~80% of total v2 is from HG)

Initial strong magnetic field l  Initial strong magnetic field

produces anisotropy of photon emission

–  Emission duration should be very short -> small yield

–  G. Baser et al., PRL109, 202303(2012),

–  B. Mueller et al., PRD 89, 026013(2014)

l  Baser’s model is from weakly coupled scenario

–  Minimum bias (20-40% roughly corresponds to Minbias)

–  Conformal anomaly à magnetic field effect

–  Conventional à thermal photons calculated by Lattice QCD

l  Mueller’s model is from strongly coupled scenario

–  This rate may also be small

Possibility of improvement on flow result

l  Statistical error can be reduced with additional dataset

l  Systematic uncertainty may or may not be reduced –  Event plane resolution à hard.. –  Photons from hadron decay

l  Needs more precise measurement of Rγ, and vn of inclusive photons and π0 (hard, but may be possible to some extent)

l  Some cancellation of systematic uncertainty is possible by

taking ratio of quantities –  v2/v3 for instance

Page 22: Thermal photon and Dilepton results from PHENIX

Measurement of ratio of v2 to v3

l  Overall trends both for π+/- and direct photons are well described by the calculation

–  Based on arXiv:1403.7558, private communication for RHIC energy

l  Systematic error estimate is currently very conservative –  Working on better understanding of systematic errors

the background verified by the like-sign spectra.

l  Combinatorial background determined using the mixed event technique and taking into account flow.

l  Correlated components (cross pairs, jet pairs and e-h pairs) independently simulated and absolutely normalized.

Cocktail is not simple either l  For charm contribution estimate, we’ve been using PYTHIA

l  Total cross-section will be different depending on the event generator

l  In order to properly describe the mass distribution in 1.5<m<3GeV/c2, the total cross-section has to be changed between PYTHIA and MC@NLO

Summary

l  Direct photon spectra and its flow (v2 and v3) have been measured in 200GeV Au+Au collisions

l  Thermal component of direct photon spectra was extracted –  Temperature was found to be constant over centrality –  Integrated yield was found to scale with:

l  Npartα: α= 1.48+/- 0.08 (stat) +/- 0.04 (syst)

l  Nqpα: α= 1.31+/- 0.07 (stat) +/- 0.03 (syst)

l  Sizable v2 and v3 have been measured

l  Simultaneous comparison of spectra, v2, and v3 between data and models suggests the late time emission is significant

l  Dilepton analysis is in good progress –  Both correlated and uncorrelated background are investigated in detail –  Cocktail simulation has also been revisited for finalizing the result
