Abstract

We have measured the inclusive p_T spectra of soft photons produced at central and backward rapidities in 450 GeV/c p-Be collisions down to 1 MeV/c in transverse momentum. In the region 1<p_T<20 MeV/c an excess of photons over those expected from hadronic decays is observed. This excess is comparable, within systematic errors, with estimates of direct photons produced via hadronic bremsstrahlung. An upper limit is derived on the presence of additional sources of direct photons at small transverse momentum.
