Electromagnetic Radiation from QCD Matter: Theory Overview

Nuclear Theory 2016-01-12 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

Recent theory developments in electromagnetic radiation from relativistic heavy-ion collisions are reviewed. Electromagnetic observables can serve as a thermometer, a viscometer, and tomographic probes to the collision system. The current status of the "direct photon flow puzzle" is highlighted.
