Description

We compute the photon emission rate of an equilibrated, hot QCD plasma at zero chemical potential, to leading order in both αEM and the QCD coupling gs(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. (author)
