  5. 2.1.2 Dilepton Rates: Hadronic, QGP, LatticedRee /dM2 ~ ∫d3q/q0 f B(q0;T) rem(M,q;mB,T) mB=0 • Resonance melting: transition hadronic→QGP toward Tpc

  6. 2.2 Medium Evolution in Heavy-Ion Collisions • Evolve rates over fireball: • Bulk Medium Evolution • - lattice EoS + HRG, Tpc=170 MeV • - Tch = 160MeV • - Tfo ~ 100 MeV • - initial profile, radial flow, … ?! • - fit hadron spectra + v2 Au-Au (200GeV) [He ,Fries+RR’12]

  10. Outline 1.) Introduction 2.) Dilepton Spectra in AA 2.1 In-Medium Spectral Functions 2.2 Medium Evolution in URHICs 2.3 Spectra 3.) “Initial-Stage” Effects 3.1 Dilepton Radiation in p-Pb 3.2 Direct Photons 4.) Conclusions

  11. 3.1 Dilepton Radiation in p-Pb at LHC 3.1.1 Bulk Medium Evolution p-Pb(5.02TeV) • assume fireball with • (b┴,Tkin) ≈ (0.4,160MeV) • (dNch/dy)MB ≈ 20 • t0 ~ 0.65 fm/c  T0 ≈ 250 MeV • interacting medium in p-Pb • for tFB ≈ 3.5 fm/c (MB) • ≈ 5 fm/c (central)

  12. 3.1.2 Low-Mass Dileptons in p-Pb (5.02GeV) • Thermal radiation at ~ 10% of cocktail • fits excess vs. lifetime relation • large QGP component probe of initial stages?!

  13. 3.2 Initial Flow and Thermal Photon-v2 Bulk Flow Evolution Direct-Photon v2 • initial radial flow: - accelerates build-up of bulk v2 • - produces harder radiation spectra • largely enhances QGP photon v2toward higher qt [He et al ’14]

  14. 3.2.2 Photon “Puzzle” Spectra Elliptic Flow • Teffexcess = (220±25) MeV • flow blue-shift: Teff ~ T √(1+b)/(1-b)T ~ 220/1.35 ~160 MeV • “small” slope + large v2 suggest main emission around Tpc • other effects …? [van Hees et al ’11]

  15. 4.) Conclusions • Versatility of Thermal Dileptons • - spectral shape: chiral restoration, degrees of freedom • - inv.-mass slope: (early) temperature (no blue shift) • - total yields: fireball lifetime • Phenomenology • - compatible with chiral restoration (sum rules) • - probe presence of interacting medium (quarks) in pA • - initial flow impacts photon-/dilepton-v2

  16. 3.2.3 Effective Slopes of Thermal Photons Thermal Fireball Viscous Hydro [S.Chen et al ‘13] [van Hees et al ’11, ‘14] • thermal slope mostly arises from T ≤ Tc • confirmed by hydro • other mechanisms: glasma BE? Magnetic fields + UA(1)? [Liao at al ’12, Skokov et al ’12,,…]

  17. 2.3.4 Dilepton Excitation Functions Low-Mass Excess Intermediate-Mass Slope • unique temperature measurement • tracks fireball lifetime! • (interacting/radiating medium) [RR+vanHees ‘14]

  18. 3.1.3 Dilepton Spectra in p-Pb (5.02GeV) • Thermal radiation at <10% of cocktail • factor ~10 increase in Pb-Pb • fits systematics of excess vs. lifetime relation

  19. 4.1 Prospects I: Spectral Shape at mB ~ 0 STAR Excess Dileptons [STAR ‘14] • rather different spectral shapes compatible with data • QGP contribution?

  20. 2.2 Transverse-Momentum Dependence pT -Sliced Mass Spectra mT -Slopes x100 • spectral shape as function of pair-pT • entangled with transverse flow (barometer)

  21. 4.1.2 Sensitivity to Spectral Function In-Medium r-Meson Width • avg. Gr(T~150MeV)~370MeVGr (T~Tc) ≈ 600 MeV → mr • driven by (anti-) baryons Mmm [GeV]

  22. 4.2 Low-Mass Dileptons: Chronometer In-In Nch>30 • first “explicit” measurement of interacting-fireball lifetime: • tFB≈ (7±1) fm/c

  23. 2.4 Low-Mass e+e- at HADES (2.63 GeV) [Endres,vanHees+Bleicher, in prep] • Thermal rates folded over coarse-grained • UrQMD medium evolution • good description in (M,qt) • data well beyond kinematic limit (0.75GeV)!

  24. 4.5 QGP Barometer: Blue Shift vs. Temperature SPS RHIC • QGP-flow driven increase of Teff ~ T + M (bflow)2 at RHIC • high pt: high T wins over high-flow r’s → minimum (opposite to SPS!) • saturates at “true” early temperature T0 (no flow)

  25. 3.3.3 Direct Photons at LHC Spectra Elliptic Flow ● ALICE [van Hees et al in prep] • similar to RHIC results • non-perturbative photon emission rates around Tpc?

  26. 3.1.2 Transverse-Momentum Spectra: Baro-meter Effective Slope Parameters RHIC SPS QGP HG [Deng,Wang, Xu+Zhuang ‘11] • qualitative change from SPS to RHIC: flowing QGP • true temperature “shines” at large mT

  27. 5.2 Chiral Restoration Window at LHC • low-mass spectral shape in chiral restoration window: • ~60% of thermal low-mass yield in “chiral transition region” • (T=125-180MeV) • enrich with (low-) pt cuts

  28. 4.4 Elliptic Flow of Dileptons at RHIC • maximum structure due to • late r decays [He et al ‘12] [Chatterjee et al ‘07, Zhuang et al ‘09]

  29. 3.3.2 Fireball vs. Viscous Hydro Evolution [van Hees, Gale+RR ’11] [S.Chen et al ‘13] • very similar!

  30. 2.3 Dilepton Rates vs. Exp.: NA60 “Spectrometer” • Evolve rates over fireball expansion: Acc.-correctedm+m- Excess Spectra In-In(17.3GeV) [NA60 ‘09] [van Hees+RR ’08] Mmm [GeV] • invariant-mass spectrum directly reflects thermal emission rate!

  31. 2.2 Dilepton Rates: Hadronic - Lattice - Perturbative dRee /dM2 ~ ∫d3q f B(q0;T) Im Pem dRee/d4q 1.4Tc (quenched) q=0 • continuous rate through Tpc • 3-fold “degeneracy” toward~Tpc - [qq→ee] [HTL] [Ding et al ’10] [RR,Wambach et al ’99]

  32. 4.2 Low-Mass e+e- at RHIC: PHENIX vs. STAR • PHENIX enhancement (central!) not accounted for by theory • STAR data ok with theory (charm?!)

  33. 4.3.2 Revisit Ingredients Emission Rates Fireball Evolution • multi-strange hadrons at “Tc” • v2bulkfully built up at hadronization • chemical potentials for p, K, … • Hadron - QGP continuity! • conservative estimates… [Turbide et al ’04] [van Hees et al ’11]

  34. 4.7.2 Light Vector Mesons at RHIC + LHC • baryon effects important even at rB,tot= 0 : • sensitive to rBtot= rB + rB (r-N and r-N interactions identical) • w also melts, f more robust ↔ OZI - -

  35. 4.1 Nuclear Photoproduction: rMeson in Cold Matter g + A → e+e- X • extracted • “in-med” r-width • Gr≈ 220 MeV e+ e- Eg≈1.5-3 GeV g r [CLAS+GiBUU ‘08] • Microscopic Approach: + in-med. r spectral fct. product. amplitude full calculation fix density 0.4r0 Fe-Ti r g N [Riek et al ’08, ‘10] M[GeV] • r-broadening reduced at high 3-momentum; need low momentum cut!
