abstract
We estimate the production rate of photons by the quark-gluon plasma in lattice QCD. We propose a new correlation function which provides better control over the systematic uncertainty in estimating the photon production rate at photon momenta in the range {\pi}T/2 to 2{\pi}T. The relevant Euclidean vector current correlation functions are computed with $N_{\mathrm f}$ = 2 Wilson clover fermions in the chirally-symmetric phase. In order to estimate the photon rate, an ill-posed problem for the vector-channel spectral function must be regularized. We use both a direct model for the spectral function and a model-independent estimate from the Backus-Gilbert method to give an estimate for the photon rate.

Thermal dilepton polarization and dynamics of the QCD plasma in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Using next-to-leading-order rates, the paper predicts that dilepton polarization changes sign and magnitude in low and intermediate invariant-mass ranges, making it a sensitive probe of gluonic processes and pre-equil...
