Photon Emission from Quark-Gluon Plasma: Complete Leading Order Results

preprint2001arXivOpen access

Abstract

We compute the photon emission rate of an equilibrated, hot QCD plasma at zero chemical potential, to leading order in both alpha_{EM} and the QCD coupling g_s(T). This requires inclusion of near-collinear bremsstrahlung and inelastic pair annihilation contributions, and correct incorporation of Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal suppression effects for these processes. Analogous results for a QED plasma are also included.
