PHOTON SUPPRESSION IN A BARYON-RICH PLASMA

Abstract
We study photon production from quark-gluon plasmas with different baryo-chemical potentials µ B but fixed, given energy density ε. We find that the rate to lowest order O(ααs) decreases strongly with increasing µ B . Since to our knowledge µ B can be large in heavy-ion collisions, this result may be of importance concerning photon production as a signature for the creation of a quark-gluon plasma.
