Description
We compute for the first time the near-side photon bremsstrahlung spectrum associated with open heavy flavor propagating through a strongly-coupled quark-gluon plasma. We expect that this observable will show measurably distinguishable differences between the soupy slowdown in AdS/CFT compared to the sporadic stiff smacks from a weakly-coupled pQCD plasma gas. Assuming the heavy quark loses energy from the usual AdS/CFT drag setup we find that small angle photon radiation is suppressed in medium compared to vacuum while wide angle radiation is enhanced.
