One of the key signatures of the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) is the modificationof hadron and direct photon spectra in heavy-ion collisions as compared toproton-proton (pp) collisions. Suppression of hadron production at hightransverse momenta in heavy-ion collisions can be explained by the energy lossof the partons produced in the hard scattering processes which traverse the hotand dense QCD matter. The dependence of the observed suppression on thetransverse momentum (pT) of the measured hadron towards higher pT is animportant input for the theoretical understanding of jet quenching effects inthe QGP and the nature of energy loss. Another key observable which has helpedestablish the energy loss picture, is high pT direct photon production forwhich no suppression is expected. For low pT photon production, it is expectedthat thermal sources will lead to enhancement of direct photons. We report anoverview of photon and neutral meson production measurements by the ALICEexperiment at the LHC in heavy-ion and pp collisions.
