Summary of Experimental Results: Photons, Leptons and Heavy Quarks

Abstract

This is a summary of experimental results on photons, leptons, and heavy quarks presented at Quark Matter 2008. A first measurement of the bottom to charm contribution to the lepton spectrum has given experimental indication for the suppression of charm and bottom. Excess dileptons have been observed and studied by both NA60 and PHENIX, which may arise from the early production of thermal dileptons and/or the modification of mesons.
