Bremsstrahlung photon from a hadronizing quark-gluon plasma

Assuming that quark and antiquark numbers are separately conserved during hadronization, we calculate Bremsstrahlung photon from a hadronizing quark-gluon plasma. The quark and antiquark numbers are obtained from the hadron numbers in the statistical model and the transition amplitudes for the hadronization from the constraint that all quarks and antiquarks must be consumed in the hadronization. We find that the Bremsstrahlung photon from hadronization is not significant but its contribution to the direct photon increases in low-energy heavy-ion collisions and in peripheral collisions where the lifetime of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is relatively short.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure

Hot medium effects on J/psi production in p+Pb collisions at sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02 TeV

Based on a kinetic description of J/psi dissociation and production in an expanding quark-gluon plasma that is described by a 2+1 dimensional ideal hydrodynamics, we have studied the hot medium effects on J/psi production in p+Pb collisions at sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02 TeV. Including also the cold nuclear matter effects, we are able to reproduce recent experimental results on the nuclear modification factor R_{pPb}(J/psi) measured by the ALICE Collaboration. We have also made predictions for the R_{pPb} of J/psi and the double ratio R_{pPb}^{pro}(psi')/R_{pPb}^{pro}(J/psi) of prompt quarkonia produced in the most central 10% p+Pb collisions. We find that different from the cold nuclear matter effects, the R_{pPb}(J/psi) is slightly smaller than that in the minimum bias collisions, and the double ratio is significantly less than one at backward rapidity.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
