A measurement of direct photon production in 208Pb + 208Pb collisions at 158 A GeV has been carried out in the CERN WA98 experiment. The invariant yield of direct photons in central collisions is extracted as a function of transverse momentum in the interval 0.5<p_T<4 GeV/c. A significant direct photon signal, compared to statistical and systematical errors, is seen at p_T>1.5 GeV/c. The results constitute the first observation of direct photons in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions which… Expand

This review presents the experimental and theoretical developments related to direct real photons since the 1970s, with a special emphasis on the recently emerged direct photon puzzle'', the simultaneous presence of large yields and strong azimuthal asymmetries of photons in heavy ion collisions, an observation that so far eluded full and coherent explanation.
