N2 - Thermal photons from the QGP provide important information about the interaction among plasma constituents. The photon production rate from a thermally equilibrated system is proportional to the transverse spectral function ρT (ω = |(Equation presented)|, (Equation presented)). One can also calculate the photon production rate from the difference between ρT (ω, (Equation presented)) (transverse) and ρL (ω, (Equation presented)) (longitudinal) projections, as ρL vanishes on the photon point. Because the UV part of ρT - ρL is suppressed, the corresponding Euclidean correlator receives most of its contribution from the IR part. We calculate the T - L correlator on Nf = 2 + 1 flavour HISQ configurations with ml = ms/5 at temperature of about 1.15 Tpc (220 MeV). We have used two ansätze for the spectral function: 1) A polynomial connected to the UV region consistent with OPE expansion and 2) a hydro-inspired spectral function. We have also applied the Backus-Gilbert method to estimate the spectral function. All these different approaches are combined to estimate the photon production rate.
