Abstract
We supply recently obtained results from lattice EQCD with the correct UV limit to construct the collisional broadening kernel C(b⊥) in a QCD plasma. We discuss the limiting behavior of C(b⊥) at small and large impact parameters b⊥, and illustrate how the results can be used to compute medium-induced radiation rates.
