The hadroproduction of lepton pairs with mass $Q$ and transverse momentum $Q_T$ can be described in perturbative QCD by the same partonic subprocesses as prompt photon production. We demonstrate that, like prompt photon production, lepton…

We study high mass dilepton production from gluon-induced processes, $g q \to q \gamma^*$, $g \bar q \to \bar q \gamma^*$, and $g g \to q \bar q \gamma^*$, in a thermally equilibrated but chemically under-saturated partonic matter that is…
We discuss the role of running coupling on the thermal photon yield from quark gluon plasma. It is shown that the photon production rate from the partonic phase is considerably enhanced when running coupling is considered with respect to a…
Particle production from an expanding classical color electromagnetic field is extensively studied, motivated by the early stage dynamics of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. We develop a formalism at one-loop order to compute the…
We argue that multi-particle production in high energy hadron and nuclear collisions can be considered as proceeding through the production of gluons in the background classical field. In this approach we derive the gluon spectrum…
