{"DOI":"10.5281/zenodo.4178425","abstract":"With the inclusion of a new Run2 trigger data sample, the PHENIX Collaboration has measured the first positive direct photon (\u03b3direct) signal in Au+Au collisions at \u221asNN= 200 GeV and midrapidity (|y|\u22640.35). The new data has extended the previous PHENIX \u03c00 measurement by 4 GeV/c in its pT range, thus matching the \u03b3-direct measurement with a pT range of 1-14 GeV/c which make them the highest pT measurements yet in RHIC Au+Au. Similar to the d+Au results, these direct photon measurements represent possibly the best available confirmation of the conclusion that the aforementioned suppression effect is not due to differences in initial state hard-scattering, but rather, due to a final state medium which quenches hard quarks and gluons, but not hard direct photons.","author":[{"family":"Frantz","given":"Justin E."}],"id":"unknown","issued":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,5]]},"language":"en","publisher":"Zenodo","title":"Direct Photon Shine: Direct Photon and \u03c00 Production in \u221asNN= 200 GeV Au + Au Collisions","type":"article-journal"}
