%0 Journal Article %T Photons, dileptons and hard thermal loops %A Francois Gelis %J Physics %D 1997 %I arXiv %X 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 handle properly these light-cone sensitive processes since some formally higher order diagrams are in reality the dominant ones. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9705360v1
