Photon Production and Photon-Hadron Correlations in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

Abstract

We calculate the production of real photons in relativistic nuclear collisions at RHIC, consistently with the quenching of fast partons. We go beyond one-body observables, and evaluate photon-triggered fragmentation functions, in the kinematical window corresponding to that of experimental measurements.
