Opportunities with ultra-soft photons: Bremsstrahlung from stopping

Sohyun Park🇨🇭

We compute the spectra of bremsstrahlung photons for different stopping scenarios which give rise to different initial charge-rapidity distributions. In the light of novel experimental opportunities that may arise with a new heavy-ion detector ALICE-3 at the CERN LHC, we discuss how to discriminate between these stopping scenarios and how to disentangle bremsstrahlung photons from other photon sources.
