Abstract

Electromagnetic radiation has been of interest in heavy ion collisions because it sheds light on early stages of the collisions where hadronic probes do not provide direct information since hadronization and hadronic interactions occur later. The latest results on direct photon measurements in Au+Au collisions together with ones in d+Au collisions from the PHENIX experiment at RHIC provide thermodynamic properties of the matter produced in the heavy ion collisions. An unexpectedly large positive elliptic flow measured for direct photons are hard to be explained by many models.
