Direct Photons at RHIC
Abstract
The PHENIX experiment has measured direct photons in sNN = 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 pT and centrality. This measurement is compared with expectation from pQCD calculations. Other possible sources of direct photons are discussed.
