Chiral effects on radiation and energy loss in quark-gluon plasma

Abstract: The emergent axion excitations in the quark-gluon plasma are generated by the sphaleron transitions. Their interactions with the photon and gluon fields are governed by the axion electro- and chromodynamics respectively. We discuss the effect of the emergent axion on the photon production and energy loss in the quark-gluon plasma. In particular, we review the Chiral Cherenkov effect, and the impact of the chiral anomaly on bremsstrahlung.
