Strongly Enhanced Photon and Dilepton Production in Strongly Coupled N=4

We calculate the photon and dilepton production rates in strongly coupled N=4 super-Yang-Mills Plasma in a presence of strong external magnetic field, B>>T^2/sqrt{3}, by using its type IIB supergravity dual. We find that there is strong enhancement for both photon and dilepton production rates by a factor of B*sqrt{\lambda}*\ell_{s}^{2}. Moreover, in a qualitative agreement with the RHIC data, we find that the enhancement of the dilepton production rate gets stronger with decreasing momentum.
