The electromagnetic radiation by quark-gluon plasma in strong magnetic field is calculated. The contributing processes are synchrotron radiation and one-photon annihilation. It is shown that in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC synchrotron radiation dominates over the annihilation. Moreover, it constitutes a significant part of all photons produced by the plasma at low transverse momenta; its magnitude depends on the plasma temperature and the magnetic field strength. Electromagnetic radiation in magnetic field is probably the missing piece that resolves a discrepancy between the theoretical models and the experimental data. It is argued that electromagnetic radiation increases with the magnetic field strength and plasma temperature.

“…The choice of these wave functions, specifically the the magnetic moment operator as the spin operator, is strongly preferred over the Johnson and Lippmann (JL) wave functions, used by Gonthier et al (2000). In particular, it is only for this choice of spin operator that the spin eigenvalue is a constant of the motion (Sokolov and Ternov (1968); Herold (1979); Melrose and Parle (1983)). Further, the JL wave functions lack symmetry between the electron and positron states.…”

Resonant Compton scattering associated with pair creation

Studies of Compton scattering by relativistic electrons in a strong magnetic field have been restricted to either incident photon angles θ ′ aligned along the magnetic field B or incident photon energies ω ′ below the first pair creation threshold ω ′ P C . When these restrictions are relaxed there is a resonance in Compton scattering associated with pair creation (PC), that is analogous to but independent of known resonances associated with gyromagnetic absorption (GA). As with the GA resonances, that may be labeled by the Landau quantum numbers of the relevant states, there is a sequence of PC resonances where the scattering cross section diverges. In this paper, the lowest divergence is studied for incident photon energies satisfying ω ′ 2 sin 2 θ ′ /(2eB) ≪ 1, assuming that the scattering electron is in its ground (Landau) state. This lowest resonance affects only parallel-polarized photons.
