Theory overview on electroweak emission from heavy-ion collisions
Abstract
An important class of observables in the heavy-ion collision programme concerns probes which are not sensitive to the prevailing strong interactions of QCD. The emission of photons, weak gauge bosons, and leptons fall into this category. Here I will describe the current status of such investigations, focusing on the emerging theoretical picture and its uncertainties.
