Description
Most of the information we have about the phases modelled by hydrodynamics in relativistic nuclear collisions comes from the analyses of hadronic collectivity. However, electromagnetic radiation (real and virtual photons) can be both penetrating and soft, and as such opens a unique window to the space-time regions that are opaque to hadrons. In this talk, we will review how measurements of photons and leptons can inform our knowledge of the dynamics of relativistic hadronic reactions at RHIC, LHC, and BES energies, as well as our understanding of the transport coefficients of strongly interacting matter.
