We compute the soft real photon emission rate from the QCD matter in the vicinity of the critical line at moderate density and the temperature approaching the critical one from above. The obtained production rate exhibits a steep rise close…
The Gubser solution to inviscid relativistic fluid dynamics is used to examine the role of transverse expansion on the energy spectrum of photons radiated by quark-gluon plasma. Transverse flow is shown to be a modest effect on the energy…

Initially produced quark-gluon matter at RHIC and LHC does not have a temperature. A quark-gluon plasma has a high temperature. From this quark-gluon matter to the quark-gluon plasma is the early thermalization or the rapid creation of…

We study production and equilibration of pions and muons in relativistic electron-positron-photon plasma at a temperature $T\ll m_\mu, m_\pi $. We argue that the observation of pions and muons can be a diagnostic tool in the study of the…

Several sources of direct photons are known to contribute to the total photon yield in high energy nuclear collisions. All of these photons carry characteristic and important information on the initial nuclei or the hot and dense fireball…
We find that in an opaque quark-gluon plasma, significant particle production at high transverse momenta can occur via acceleration of (initially) lower-momentum partons. This new mechanism, which is the opposite of parton energy loss (jet…
