Recent classical-statistical numerical simulations have established the "bottom-up" thermalization scenario of Baier et al. as the correct weak coupling effective theory for thermalization in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. I will talk on a parametric study of photon production in the various stages of this bottom-up framework and compare the contribution of the off-equilibrium...

Over the past years PHENIX has published numerous results on direct photon production from Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV. The
results show a large direct photon excess at low momentum, which increases with centrality, while the inverse slope of ~240
MeV remains independent of centrality within errors. The direct photons are emitted with a large anisotropy with respect to
the reaction plan,...

Electromagnetic probes are considered as clean messengers from the hot dense medium created in the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this talk, I will review the theoretical developments in the study of electromagnetic radiation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The recent progress in the rates for photon and lepton pair production is discussed....

We present how the dynamics of the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) and Chiral Density Waves can be described during the pre-equilibrium stage of a heavy-ion collision, using classical-statistical real-time lattice simulations [1-3]. To this end we present results in a simplified set-up with dynamical (Wilson and Overlap) fermions simultaneously coupled to color and electro-magnetic fields. We...
