Direct Photons at RHIC

Nuclear Experiment 2019-08-14 v1

Abstract

The PHENIX experiment has measured direct photons in sNN=200\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions and p+p collisions. The fraction of photons due to direct production in Au+Au collisions is shown as a function of pTp_T and centrality. This measurement is compared with expectation from pQCD calculations. Other possible sources of direct photons are discussed.
