Non-equilibrium photon production from scalar condensates in expanding space-time

Kin-Wang Ng

1 pm Monday January 17 in 3 East - Theory Conference Room.

We discuss the non-equilibrium photons produced from oscillating scalar field via the scalar-photon coupling in the expanding space-time. The method is applied to calculate the photon production from axions, quark-hadron phase transition, and disoriented chiral condensate.
