In general line with our early works [Yu.A. Markov, M.A. Markova, Nucl. Phys. A770 (2006) 162; 784 (2007) 443] within the framework of a semiclassical approximation the general theory of calculation of effective currents and sources…
Soft photons produced in heavy ion collisions are an important tool for probing the properties of the quark-gluon plasma. It is therefore crucial to understand the background - soft photons produced in elementary collisions. Low theorem…
The production rate of a soft photon from a hot quark-gluon plasma is computed to leading order at logarithmic accuracy. The canonical hard-thermal-loop resummation scheme leads to logarithmically divergent production rate due to mass…

We study the induced photon bremsstrahlung from a fast quark produced in AA-collisions due to multiple scattering in quark-gluon plasma. For RHIC and LHC conditions the induced photon spectrum is sharply peaked at photon energy close to the…
We discuss a variety of bremsstrahlung processes associated with charged particles emitted by evaporating black holes. We show that such particles produce a negligible number of bremsstrahlung photons from their scattering off each other,…
The production rate of soft real photons or soft lepton pairs by a hot QCD plasma is dominated by strong collinear divergences. As a consequence, it appears that the effective theory based on the resummation of hard thermal loops fails to…

We discuss the production of real or virtual photons in a quark-gluon plasma.
A particle produced in a hard collision can lose energy through bremsstrahlung. It has long been of interest to calculate the effect on bremsstrahlung if the particle is produced inside a finite-size QCD medium such as a quark-gluon plasma.…
We calculate within the Hard Thermal Loop expansion the production rate of soft photons and lepton pairs by a hot quark-gluon plasma at thermal equilibrium, up to the 2-loop order. Strong collinear divergences appear to mix the orders of…
In an absorptive plasma, damping of radiation mechanisms can influence the bremsstrahlung formation in case of large radiation formation lengths. We study qualitatively the influence of this effect on the gluon bremsstrahlung spectrum off…
We use the gauge/gravity correspondence to calculate the rate of photon production in a strongly coupled N=4 plasma in the presence of an intense magnetic field. We start by constructing a family of back reacted geometries that include the…
