Abstract

Based on the modelling of the collective motion in AuAu collisions at [Formula: see text] at centrality 0-20% and 20-40% and PbPb collisions at [Formula: see text] at centrality 0-40% with a 3+1D event-averaged ideal hydrodynamics constrained with hadronic data, we study the transverse momentum spectrum and elliptic flow of direct photons and find that the recent direct photon data from both PHENIX collaboration at RHIC and ALICE collaboration at LHC favour an early beginning of collective expansion (τ0 < 0.6 fm/c) and a late formation of quark gluon plasma (τ ~ 2 fm/c).
