    "abstract": "We evaluate the production of large mass diphotons from quark annihilation at\nBNL RHIC and CERN LHC energies from central collisions of gold nuclei. The\ncollision is assumed to lead to either a thermally and chemically equilibrated\nquark gluon plasma, or a free-streaming quark gluon gas having an identical\ninitial entropy, or a chemically equilibrating quark gluon system, with the\nsame entropy at $T=T_c$. We also obtain an estimate of hard photon pairs from\ninitial state quark annihilation and find that the thermal production dominates\nthe yield up to $M \\approx$ 4 GeV at RHIC, and up to 6 GeV at LHC. A simulation\nstudy of decay versus thermal diphotons is presented.",
