Thermal photon production from shadowed Glauber model initial condition

The idea of nucleon shadowing was first introduced by R. J. Glauber in order to explain why the total cross section of π meson with deuteron is smaller compared to the sum of the corresponding cross sections with free neutron and proton at very high energy. In this report, we study the effects of initial state shadowing on the thermal photon observables. We also explore whether this inclusion resolves the 'photon ν₂ puzzle'
