High energy thermal photons from chirally imbalanced QGP

We compute the thermal photon production rate from a chirally asymmetric quark gluon plasma. We estimate the hard part from scattering of chiral quarks and demonstrate the cut-off independence of the total thermal photon emission rate. This is achieved by combining the hard with the soft contribution evaluated in our previous work using the Braaten-Pisarski method of hard thermal loop perturbation theory. It is observed that the presence of chiral imbalance leads to an overall enhancement in the emission rate of thermal photons.
