Spectra of thermal photons carry important information on the temperature of the hot and dense medium produced in heavy ion collisions. Photons can be measured via their conversion into electron-positron pairs in the detector material. In this contribution, challenges in the photon reconstruction are discussed and feasibility studies on photon conversion measurements in the future multipurpose detector (MPD) experiment at NICA are presented. The obtained results indicate good prospects for thermal photon measurements.

AbstractHere, we report on the enhancement of photon conversion by integration of photonic crystal (PhC) and surface plasmon (SP) structures into thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells. PhCs consisting of rods of air are incorporated into the base of semiconductor TPV cells to increase the duration of thermal photon absorption, thus significantly enhancing quantum and conversion efficiencies (QE and CE, respectively). The potential of PhCs to augment the CE of TPV cells for most IR wavelengths makes it a widely useful technology. The ability to turn waste heat into usable energy will improve efficiency in a variety of electrical and electromechanical systems.
