Photons from Jet - Plasma Interaction in collisional energy loss scenario

TL;DR

This paper models photon production from jet-plasma interactions in a collisional energy loss scenario, successfully reproducing experimental data by including photons from initial hard collisions.

Contribution

It introduces a calculation of photon emission considering collisional energy loss and accounts for initial hard collision photons, enhancing understanding of photon sources in such scenarios.

Findings

PHENIX photon data is well reproduced.

Photons from initial hard collisions are significant.

Collisional energy loss scenario explains photon production.

Abstract

We calculate photons from jet plasma interaction in a collisional energy loss scenario. It is shown that the PHENIX photon data is well reproduced when photons from initial hard collisions are taken into account.
