摘要
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 erects for these processes. Analogous results for a QED plasma are also included.
