We recently derived, using diagrammatic methods, the leading-order hard photon emission rate in ultra-relativistic plasmas. This requires a correct treatment of multiple scattering effects which limit the coherence length of emitted radiation (the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect). In this paper, we provide a more physical derivation of this result, and extend the treatment to the case of gluon radiation.

  1. Full energy fraction and angular dependence of medium-induced splittings in the large-$N_c$ limit

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In large-Nc and harmonic oscillator limits, medium-induced splittings are computed analytically double-differential in z and θ, with an improved semi-hard approximation validated for high-energy partons.

  2. Primordial Black Hole Hotspots Beyond Flat Spacetime

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Hotspots around light primordial black holes cool faster in an expanding universe following T_plt ∝ t^{-11/15} and vanish completely in finite time, unlike everlasting hotspots in flat spacetime.

  3. Energy Loss of a Heavy Quark in a Collisional Quark-Gluon Plasma

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Including thermal parton collisions via the BGK kernel increases the collisional energy loss of a heavy quark in QGP by ~8% at large velocities for α_s=0.3 compared to the collisionless limit.

  4. Minijet thermalization and jet transport coefficients in QCD kinetic theory

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Minijet thermalization time in a thermal gluon plasma scales with the jet quenching parameter q-hat once recoiling medium contributions are added to standard transport coefficient definitions.

  5. Glauber quark and gluon contributions to quark energy loss at next-to-leading order and next-to-leading twist

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Derives four scattering kernels for quark energy loss in nuclei at NLO and NLT, incorporating Glauber quarks and gluons plus mass and coherence effects.
