Direct Photon Production in Heavy Ion Reactions at SPS and RHIC
arXiv:nucl-ex/0201003 · doi:10.1007/BF02705165
Abstract
A review on experimental results for direct photon production in heavy ion reactions is given. A brief survey of early direct photon limits from SPS experiments is presented. The first measurement of direct photons in heavy ion reactions from the WA98 collaboration is discussed and compared to theoretical calculations. An outlook on the perspective of photon measurements at RHIC is given.
