Electroweak Physics: Summary

Abstract

Electroweak probes are potential tool to study the properties of the hot and dense strongly interacting matter produced in relativistic nuclear collisions due to their unique nature. A selection of the new experimental analysis and results from theory calculations on electromagnetic and weak probes presented at the Hard Probes 2020 are discussed in this contribution.

Anisotropic flow of photons in relativistic heavy ion collisions

“…These recent developments in the experimental anal-ysis hold the promise that in near future photon anisotropic flow data will be available from a number of systems at different beam energies which will add up to our understanding of initial state as well as photon anisotropic flow from heavy ion collisions [30,31].…”
