We show how anisotropy in momentum of the gluon distribution in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions gives rise to polarization of direct photons produced via gluon–quark Compton scattering, as well as by quark–antiquark annihilation into a gluon–photon pair. We estimate the polarization asymmetry from the Compton process within a toy model where the polarized photons are produced from…
