Description

A novel next-to-leading order analysis of the dilepton production rate from a hot QCD plasma is reported. The photon invariant mass is taken to be in the range K^2 ~ (pi T)^2; subsequently the results are compared with an OPE computation in a hard regime K^2 >> (pi T)^2, with an LPM resummed computation in a soft regime K^2 << (pi T)^2, as well as with recent lattice simulations in the Euclidean domain.
