Description

Overview of the latest low p T direct photon measurements by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC is presented. We found a smooth change of the effective temperature as a function of s N N . We studied the scaling properties of the direct photon yield with various global observables. When plotting the direct photon yield as a function of dN ch/ a universal scaling independent of the s N N was observed. (paper)
