Direct photon is penetrating probe for initial hot and dense matter.There are many photon sources in heavy ion collisions.
High pT direct photons are produced in the initial stage.Thermal radiation are emitted in the low pT region.

1-3. Introduction ~v2~
: azimuthal angle of particles : azimuthal angle of reaction plane
-Elliptic flow (v2) is defined by the 2nd coefficient of Fourier expansion
The collision participation part in the early stage has spatial anisotropy. Pressure gradient is the largest in the shortest direction of the ellipsoid. Emitted particles reflect initial spatial anisotropy.

The v2 is sensitive to the initial geometric overlap zone and pressure gradient. Therefore, direct photon v2 is considered to depend on the production processes of photons.

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!
