Photons from quark gluon plasma and hot hadronic matter

摘要

The productions of real photons from quark gluon plasma and hot hadronic matter formed after the nucleusa€“nucleus collisions at ultra-relativistic energies are discussed. The effects of the spectral shift of the hadrons at ???nite temperature on the production of photons are investigated. On the basis of the present analysis it is shown that the photon spectra measured by WA98 collaboration in Pb + Pb collisions at CERN SPS energies can be explained by both QGP as well as hadronic initial states if the spectral shift of hadrons at ???nite temperature is taken into account. Several other works on the analysis of WA98 photon data have also been brie???y discussed.
