Direct photons were measured with the PHENIX experiment in p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV. To tackle the p_T region below 5 GeV/c, direct photons were measured through their internal conversion into e^+e^- in Au+Au collisions.
Electro-magnetic probes such as dileptons and photons are strong probes to investigate the thermodynamical state of the early stages of collisions since they leave the system unscathed. The PHENIX experiment has measured both photons and…

As a colorless probe, direct photons balance the $p_T$ of the away-side jet at leading order. Direct photon-hadron correlations are thus an excellent probe for nuclear structure and QCD effects, including parton energy loss in the…
