Quasi-real photon production in thermal QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

In this proceedings, I consider two-loop contributions to real photon production in thermal QCD. If the photon is strictly massless, strong collinear divergences appear in this calculation. These singularities are regularized by the quark thermal mass of order gTgT, which generates powers of 1/g1/g, so that the corresponding terms are strongly enhanced with respect to naive expectations of their order of magnitude.
