Direct photons produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions allow access to the state of matter during collision, because they do not experience strong interaction and can escape from fireball without scattering. New data PHENIX experiment at RHIC show that as a function impact parameter yield direct increases much more rapidly than particle production, which provides new evidence for emission system when it was most hot dense.
