Description
Electromagnetic probes are a unique tool for studying the space-time evolution of the hot and dense matter created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Dielectron pairs are emitted during the entire evolution of the medium created in such collisions, allowing the extraction of the real direct photon fraction at vanishing mass, providing access to thermal radiation from the early hot stages of the collision. The measurement of dielectron and direct photon production in minimum-bias pp collisions serves as a crucial baseline for the studies in heavy-ion collisions, whereas pp collisions with high charged-particle multiplicities allow the search for interesting phenomena such as the possible presence of QGP in small systems.
This talk will present the final LHC Run 2 ALICE results on the direct-photon production using dielectron pairs in central Pb–Pb collisions at
