Photon production in heavy ion reactions

  • 1. Utrecht University, P.O. Box 80000, 3508-TA Utrecht (Netherlands)

Description

A review on experimental results of photon production in heavy ion reactions is given. Measurements using inclusive photons are discussed. Some developments in the theoretical description of direct photon production are reviewed. The measurement of direct photons in heavy ion reactions from the WA98 Collaboration is discussed and compared to theoretical calculations. First results on photon measurements at RHIC are also discussed
