Thermal photon v3 at LHC from fluctuating initial conditions
Abstract We calculate the triangular flow parameter v 3 of thermal photons for 0–40% central collisions of Pb nuclei at LHC using an event-by-event hydrodynamic model with fluctuating initial conditions. Thermal photon v 3 with respect to the participant plane angle is found to be positive and significant compared to the elliptic flow parameter v 2 of thermal photons. In addition, photon v 3 as a function of p T shows similar qualitative nature to photon v 2 in the region 1 p T 6 GeV / c . We argue that while v 3 originates from ϵ 3 deformations of the initial state density distribution, fast buildup of radial flow due to fluctuations is the main driving mechanism for the observed large val…
Equation of state of strongly interacting matter: spectra for thermal particles and intensity correlation of thermal photons
We find that an equation of state for hot hadronic matter consisting of all baryons having $M < 2$ GeV and all mesons having $M < 1.5$ GeV, along with Hagedorn resonances in thermal and chemical equilibrium, matches rather smoothly with lattice equation of state (p4 action, ${N_��}=8$) for T up to $\approx 200$ MeV, when corrected for the finite volume of hadrons. Next we construct two equations of state for strongly interacting matter; one, HHL, in which the above is matched to the lattice equation of state at $T=165$ MeV and the other, HHB, where we match it to a bag model equation of state with critical temperature $T_c=165$ MeV. We compare particle spectra, thermal photon spectra …
Triangular flow of thermal photons from an event-by-event hydrodynamic model for 2.76A TeV Pb + Pb collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
We calculate the triangular flow parameter v3 of thermal photons from an event-by-event ideal hydrodynamic model for 0–40% central collisions of Pb nuclei at √sNN = 2.76 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. v3 determined with respect to the participant plane (PP) is found to be nonzero and positive, and its pT dependence is qualitatively similar to the elliptic flow parameter v2(PP) of thermal photons in the range 1 pT 6 GeV/c. In the range pT 3 GeV/c, v3(PP) is found to be about 50–75% of v2(PP) and for pT > 3 GeV/c the two anisotropy parameters become comparable. The value of v3 is driven by local density fluctuations both directly via the creation of triangular geometry and indirectly …
Equation of state of strongly interacting matter and intensity interferometry of thermal photons
Abstract We find that an equation of state (EOS) for hot hadronic matter consisting of all mesons (baryons) having M 1.5 ( 2.0 ) GeV along with Hagedorn resonances in thermal and chemical equilibrium, matches rather smoothly with lattice EOS ( p 4 action, N τ = 8 ) for T up to ≈200 MeV, when corrections are made for the finite volume of hadrons. Two equations of state, HHL and HHB are constructed where the above is matched to the lattice and bag model EoS respectively at a critical temperature T c = 165 MeV . We find that the particle and thermal photon spectra differ only marginally for the two equations of state at both RHIC and LHC energies. The intensity interferometry results, speciall…
Triangular flow of thermal photons from an event-by-event hydrodynamic model for2.76ATeV Pb + Pb collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
We calculate the triangular flow parameter $v_3$ of thermal photons from an event-by-event ideal hydrodynamic model for $0--40\%$ central collisions of Pb nuclei at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=2.76 TeV at LHC. $v_3$ determined with respect to the participant plane (PP) is found to be non-zero, positive and its $p_T$ dependence is qualitatively similar to the elliptic flow parameter $v_2$(PP) of thermal photons in the range $1 \le p_T \le 6$ GeV/$c$. In the range $p_T \, \le $ 3 GeV/$c$, $v_3$(PP) is found to be about $50--75\%$ of $v_2$(PP) and for $p_T \, >$ 3 GeV/$c$ the two anisotropy parameters become comparable. The local fluctuations in the initial density distribution as well as the initial glob…
