6. Summary 1. Direct photon is one of the interesting measurement
as penetrating probe for initial hot and dense matter. 2. The photon excess ratio is measured in 200 GeV and 62.4 GeV. 3. The invariant yield is well described by NLO pQCD. 4. Direct photon v2 is measured in Run4, with large error bar. => consistent with theoretical prediction in high pT. 5. Run7 0 v2 is measured as a function of pT. => Run7 allows us more detail direct photon study at high pT in a near future. 6. Thank you for all collaborators! 02 / 08 / 2008 QM Kentaro Miki - 15
