Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 132301 (2003) [4 pages]High-Energy Photons from Passage of Jets through Quark-Gluon PlasmaReceived 2 August 2002; published 31 March 2003 We calculate the production of high-energy photons from Compton scattering and annihilation of a quark jet passing through a quark gluon plasma produced in a relativistic heavy ion collision. The contributions are large and reflect the momentum distribution of the jets and the initial conditions of the plasma. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
