Outline Motivation Introduction to photon measurement Jet-photon conversion with energy loss Conclusion 2019/7/25 Lijuan-Zhou CCNU
Motivation for photon measurement Don’t interact strongly, long mean free path. The photon production rate and the photon momentum distribution depend on the momentum distributions of the quarks, antiquarks, and gluons in the plasma. 2019/7/25 Lijuan-Zhou CCNU

Direct photon RAA Nuclear modification factor RAA of very high-pT direct photons is below one. A hint of jet-quenching effect for fragmentation photons F. Arleo, JHEP 0609 (2006) 015 2019/7/25 Lijuan-Zhou CCNU
Direct photon RAA T.Isobe for the PHENIX Collaboration in nucl-ex/0701040 points out that Jet-photon conversion is not taken into account in the calculation of F. Arleo, JHEP 0609 (2006) 015 2019/7/25 Lijuan-Zhou CCNU

Conclusion Jet-photon conversion is an important source for AA collisions: High-pT (> 6 GeV/c) photons are dominantly produced in hard scattering (jet-photon conversion) The jet quenching effect will decrease the rate of jet -photon conversion in high momentum The jet-photon conversion would provide information about energy loss 2019/7/25 Lijuan-Zhou CCNU
