ABSTRACT: We study
the leading order processes for photon production using a phenomenological
model of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
incorporating the parametrization factors in thermal dependent quark mass. The
measurement of photon emission provides valuable insights into the early
conditions of QGP. The production rate is observed in the low and intermediate
range of energy and transverse momentum. The photon yield is found to increase
marginally with the effect of thermal dependent quark mass. The results are
little enhanced and in good agreement with other work.
