Electromagnetic Emission and Energy Loss in the QGP
arXiv:hep-ph/0403169 · doi:10.1088/0954-3899/30/8/017
Abstract
I discuss why photon production from the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) presents an interesting problem, both experimentally and theoretically. I show how the photon emission rate can be computed under the simplifying assumption that the QGP fully thermalizes. The theoretical issues are very similar to those for jet energy loss; so it should be possible to treat them in a common formalism and relate the predictions of one phenomenon to those of the other.
