Photon Production by Chiral Magnetic Effect in the Early Stage of High-Energy Nuclear Collisions

We present an event-by-event study of photons produced by the chiral magnetic effect in the early stage of high-energy nuclear collisions. We model the early stage with an evolving, 2+1 dimensional, glasma, initialized via the McLerran-Venugopalan model. The photons are produced from the interplay of the chiral anomaly of quantum chromodynamics and the strong magnetic fields generated by the colliding nuclei. In particular, we focus on the spectrum and the elliptic flow of the produced photons. We find that the chiral magnetic effect has a minor impact on the photon spectrum compared to other production mechanisms as well as to experimental data. However, the photons produced by the present early stage mechanism can exhibit a significant elliptic flow.

Massless quark production in chromoelectric field with back reaction

We study the massless quark production in $SU(2)$ gauge chromoelectric field by single-time Wigner function covariantly with back reaction. The evolution of field and current are investigated. For a phenomenological distribution function, both the time and momentum dependence have been studied. Interesting phenomena are found, which are: when considering the back reaction, the yield of quark production is higher than the Bjorken expanding field, and momentum 'gap' with confinement phenomenon exists in the phenomenological distribution function. To have a better understanding on the phenomena, components of the Wigner function are qualitatively analyzed.

Effect of ion mass on pair production in the interaction of an ultraintense laser with overdense plasmas

The effect of ion mass on pair production in the interaction of an ultraintense laser with overdense plasmas has been explored by particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. It is found that the heavier ion mass excites the higher and broader electrostatic field, which is responsible for the enhancement of backward photon number. The pair yields are also reinforced due to the increase of head-on collision of backwards photon with incoming laser. By examining the density evolution and angle distribution of each particle species the origin of pair yields enhancement has been clarified further.

Pair production in strong SU(2) background fields

The fermion particle pair production in strong SU(2) gauged chromoelectric fields is studied by using Boltzmann-Vlasov equation in a classical way. The existence of pre-production process in a classical description is shown with the distribution evolution of non-Abelian particle production. It is interesting to find that the distribution center of particle number density is on two islands and has a split on color charge sphere as it evolutes and reaches a steady state at last, which is related to the amplitude and the varying of the field.
