Abstract
To study plasma photons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions one must account for direct photons from all possible sources. The aim of this work is the examination of the effect that initial-state parton distributions in nuclei, distorted to accommodate the European Muon Collaboration (EMC) effect, will have on the direct-photon spectrum produced relative to the basic QCD subprocesses in free nucleon-nucleon collisions. Since this parton distortion has been quite satisfactorily described by an expansion of the nuclear state in multiquark color-singlet (cluster) basis states, this «quark cluster model» should give useful predictions for the reflection of the EMC effect in the nucleus-nucleus direct photons
