Virtual photon polarization and dilepton anisotropy in relativistic nucleus–nucleus collisions

The polarization of virtual photons produced in relativistic nucleus–nucleus collisions provides information on the conditions in the emitting medium. In a hydrodynamic framework, the resulting angular anisotropy of the dilepton final state depends on the flow as well as on the transverse momentum a...
