Gluon Fusion If ? = 0, ? = 0 (Furry s Theorem). If all the quarks are in the ???, ? = 0 (only parallel structures in the trace). Dominant contribution : 1 quark in the 1?? and 2 quarks in the ???.
Flow the sudden change in the pressure. Velocity: Accounts A complete descriptions needs to take in account the mediums dispersive (refraction index). ?
Conclusions We have shown that the magnetic field in the early stages of the collisions may be an important source of photons. The presence of intense magnetic fields open new channels for the photon production (gluon fusion) in heavy ions collisions. Our calculations provide a better description of the yield and the elliptic flow at the lowest end of the spectrum.
