Photon Production and Photon-Hadron Correlations in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-01-15 v1

Abstract

We calculate the production of real photons in relativistic nuclear collisions at RHIC, consistently with the quenching of fast partons. We go beyond one-body observables, and evaluate photon-triggered fragmentation functions, in the kinematical window corresponding to that of experimental measurements.
