Thermal photons and their role in probing the dynamics of heavy ion collisions

This work involves thermal photon production from the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) and Hadronic Gas (HG) in heavy ion collisions. Using a 3D + 1 hydrodynamic model (MUSIC) to describe the evolution of the system after thermalization of a Au+Au collision, we compute the total production of thermal photon...
