We calculate the production rate of soft real photons from a hot quark -- gluon plasma using Braaten -- Pisarski's perturbative resummation method. To leading order in the QCD coupling constant $g$ we find a logarithmically divergent result…
Strong collinear divergences, although regularized by a thermal mass, result in a breakdown of the standard hard thermal loop expansion in the calculation of the production rate of photons by a plasma of quarks and gluons using thermal…
The production rate of soft real photons or soft lepton pairs by a hot QCD plasma is dominated by strong collinear divergences. As a consequence, it appears that the effective theory based on the resummation of hard thermal loops fails to…
Thermal perturbation theory based on the resummation scheme by Braaten and Pisarski suffers from unscreened collinear singularities whenever outer momenta become light-like. A recently proposed improvement of the hard thermal loops by an…
It has been reported that, within the hard-thermal-loop resummation scheme, the production rate of soft real photons from a hot quark-gluon plasma exhibits unscreened mass singularities. We show that still higher-order resummations screen…
A recent development in finite temperature field theory, the so-called Braaten-Pisarski method, and its application to properties of a quark-gluon plasma, possibly formed in relativistic heavy ion collisions, are reviewed. In particular…
The direct photon radiation from a hot and slightly strong interacting fireball system of a rich baryon quark-gluon plasma, using the Boltzmann distribution function for the incoming particles and Bose-Einstein distribution for gluon and…
The low energy $J/\psi$ photoproduction cross-section has been studied on the basis of the Pomeron model. To incorporate the discrepancy between experimental data and the predictionns by the conventional models, i.e. the sum of the soft…
Considering the propagation of off-shell particles in the framework of thermal field theory, we present the general formalism for the calculation of the production rate of soft photons and dileptons from a hot plasma. This approach is…
In this work we investigate the photoproduction of radially excited vector mesons off nuclei in heavy ion relativistic collisions. In particular, we analyze the exclusive photoproduction of psi(2S) off nuclei, evaluating the coherent and…
Hard, or high transverse momentum, pion photoproduction can be a tool for probing the parton structure of the beam and target. We estimate the soft contributions to this process, with an eye toward delineating the region where…
The damping of a massless fermion coupled to a massless scalar particle at finite temperature is considered using the Braaten-Pisarski resummation technique. First the hard thermal loop diagrams of this theory are extracted and effective…
We study the impact of leading soft-collinear effects on threshold and joint-resummed calculations for the production of prompt photons via parton fragmentation, complementing a previous study for direct production. We assess these effects…
We study the production of photons through the non-equilibrium relaxation of a disoriented chiral condensate formed in the expanding hot central region in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. It is found that the expansion smoothes out…
Thermal photon and dilepton rates are important probes for understanding the quark-gluon plasma and QCD at high temperatures. As a consequence there is a strong interest to determine them using lattice QCD calculations. However, this is…
We extend next-to-leading logarithmic threshold and joint resummation for prompt photon production to include leading collinear effects. The impact of these effects is assessed for both fixed-target and collider kinematics. We find them in…
In this paper the processes $e^+ e^- \to J/\Psi J/\Psi, J/\Psi \psi', \psi' \psi'$ are considered in the framework of light cone formalism. An important distinction of this approach in comparison to the approaches used in other papers is…
Recent results for the photoproduction of mesons off nuclei are reviewed. These experiments have been performed for two major lines of research related to the properties of the strong interaction. The investigation of nucleon resonances…
I discuss the resummation of soft gluon contributions to direct photon and W + jet production and I present some results for the next-to-next-to-leading order expansions of the resummed cross sections for these processes near threshold.
In recent studies, the production rate of photons or lepton pairs by a quark gluon plasma has been found to be enhanced due to collinear singularities. This enhancement pattern is very dependent on rather strict collinearity conditions…
