Recent Neutral Meson and Direct Photon Measurements with ALICE

In this overview, recent results of the ALICE collaboration on neutral meson and direct photon production are reported. The invariant cross section of $${{\pi }^{0}}$$ and $$\eta $$ meson production in pp collisions $$\sqrt s = 13$$ TeV are measured and compared to pQCD calculations. The direct photon production and two-photons HBT correlations in Pb–Pb $$\sqrt {{{s}_{{NN}}}} = 5.02$$ TeV are presented as well.
