Description

The preliminary results for single photon spectrum obtained by WA80 collaboration are analyzed. The data are well described by a scenario where a thermalized quark-gluon plasma is formed initially, which expands, cools, hadronizes, and undergoes a freeze out. It is also seen that the data do not seem to favour the scenario where the matter is initially formed in a hot hadronic phase, which cools and undergoes freeze-out and does not involve a phase transition.
