Summary, in English

Upper limits on direct photon production were determined as a function of the transverse momentum for 0.7 < pT ≤ 3.2 GeV/c with the WA98 experiment in p + C and p + Pb collisions at . The results are compared to direct photon measurements in Pb + Pb collisions at by WA98. Implications for a possible thermal direct photon contribution are discussed.
