  • The WA98 collaboration at SPS-CERN reported the first observation of direct photons from Pb + Pb collisions with √s = 158 AGeV.

    “The WA98 collaboration at SPS-CERN reported their analysis for the first observation of direct photons from Pb + Pb collisions with √ s = 158 AGeV [137].”

    From Phase Transitions in the Early and Present Universe (2006) · cites this paper as [137]

    The Introduction and Conclusions identify the work as an NA50 analysis of J/ψ suppression in Pb–Pb collisions, not a WA98 report of direct photons. The Experimental setup gives a Pb beam energy of 158 GeV per nucleon, but that shared collision setting does not make this paper the claimed photon analysis. No page numbers are available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.87)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

  • A significant excess of direct photons beyond that expected from proton-induced reaction at the same √s is observed in the range of transverse momentum greater than about 1.5 GeV/c in central collisions.

    “The most interesting result is that a significant excess of direct photons beyond that expected from proton-induced reaction at the same √ s is observed in the range of transverse momentum greater than about 1 . 5 GeV /c in central collisions.”

    From Phase Transitions in the Early and Present Universe (2006) · cites this paper as [137]

    The Introduction and Results discuss J/ψ suppression in Pb-Pb collisions, not a direct-photon excess. Searches for direct photons, the proton-induced comparison, and the 1.5 GeV/c transverse-momentum threshold found no passage addressing the claim; page numbers were unavailable in our copy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
