Title: The Curious Story of the Photon

Speaker: Prof.Bowen Xiao

Coordinates: Room 613, 4pm, Thursday, December 10


Abstract:In this talk, I plan to discuss several interesting and peculiar aspects of the photon in high energy scatterings. First, I will review the history of Weizsacker-Williams photon distribution in a relativistic moving charged particle in the so-called equivalent photon approximation (EPA), and discuss the extension of this method towards the photon Wigner distribution. These methods can be applied to the dilepton productions recently measured by STAR, ATLAS, and CMS collaborations. In the end, I will also mention the rich QCD structure of the photon and its implication on the collective phenomenon at the future EIC.
