Abstract
We develop a jetphoton conversion mechanism in the expanding quark gluon plasma. The jetphoton conversion in hot quarkgluon medium is a vital source of the thermal photon production. The jet converts into photons via the secondary Compton and annihilation processes in the quarkgluon plasma. The gluonphotons are also considered in the calculation of prompt photons which includes the effect of the shadowing and isospin of nucleus. We find that the prompt gluonphotons are also an important modification to prompt photons.
