Motivations• The properties of the hot dense matter created in heavy ion collision are of great i
nterest, especially the critical behaviors.
• As penetrating probes, direct photons can provide the inner information of the ho
t dense matter.
• Theoretically, photon production can easily be studied both macroscopically and
microscopically, which may be helpful for the study of hadron production.
• What can we learn from direct photon observables? How is this sig
nal related to hadronic signal?

Calculation approachA precise calculation requires careful treatments on
• The space-time evolution of the created hot dense matter
distributions of thermal partons and hadrons

Results
• pt-spectra
• Elliptic flow (at low pt)
![Page 12: Centrality-dependence of direct photon production from Au+Au Collisions](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568145ae550346895db2a7b5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

pt-spectra
The measured pt spectrum is reproduced with 4 sources.Jet quenching plays a role but not so evident here.
![Page 13: Centrality-dependence of direct photon production from Au+Au Collisions](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568145ae550346895db2a7b5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Direct photons are not suppressed?Reason: Due to the dominance of leading order contribution.
Consequence:The high pt elliptic flow mightbe too small to be visible.
![Page 14: Centrality-dependence of direct photon production from Au+Au Collisions](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568145ae550346895db2a7b5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

jet quenching effect at high pt
• Jet quenching treatment is very important in fragmentation contribution
and jet photon-conversion contribution.
• If one can separate the different sources via particle correlations,
then high pt suppression and v2 caused by jet quenching and by
geometry may be observed!
![Page 15: Centrality-dependence of direct photon production from Au+Au Collisions](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568145ae550346895db2a7b5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
V2 of thermal photons
• In the local rest frame, photons are emitted from the thermal bath isotropically.
• Thermal photons’ v2 is caused by the Lorentz boost and accumulated with the space-time integration.
• Both the strength and the asymmetry of the transverse flow are important.

thermal photons v2 time evolution
Elliptic flow of thermal photons decreases at high pt due to the abundant emission at early time.
Fraction emitted at earlier timeIncreases with pt.
Elliptic flow of thermal photonsincreases with time.

V2(pt) at different centrality
Elliptic flow of thermal photons does decrease at high pt.
![Page 19: Centrality-dependence of direct photon production from Au+Au Collisions](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568145ae550346895db2a7b5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Centrality dependence of pt-int. v2
Maximum pt-int. v2 appears at 40-50% centrality, due to the interplay between the strength and asymmetry of the transverse flow.
This centrality dependence is similar to the measured hadronic v2.
The measurement of elliptic flow of thermal photons( direct photons) is really needed to test models!
![Page 20: Centrality-dependence of direct photon production from Au+Au Collisions](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/568145ae550346895db2a7b5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
QGP phase and HG phase
V2 from hadronic phase is much bigger than from QGP phase.
V2 can carry different information than pt spectrum.

Dependence of EoS?
Elliptic flow is more sensitive to EoS than pt spectrum!
Various input of EoS

22
Conclusion• Ideal hydro model can reproduce the measured pt spectra of direct photo
ns at different centrality with the four sources we considered.
• Jet quenching plays a role in direct photon production.
• pt-int. v2 reaches maximum at 40-50% centrality, due to the interplay bet
ween the strength and asymmetry of the transverse flow.
Does this interplay play a role in hadronic elliptic flow? How?
• Thermal photon V2 is more sensitive to EoS than pt spectra!
• Measurement is needed to test the model.

The dominant contribution at high pt is the LO contribution from NN collisions:
The isospin mixtureand nuclear shadowing reduce Raa at high pt.
This is the initial effect, not related to QGP formation.
