Results from {sup 16}O- and {sup 32}S-induced reactions obtained by the WA80 collaboration at the CERN SPS are presented with reference to global event characteristics such as collision geometry, the degree of nuclear stopping, and the energy density attained. Transverse momentum spectra of neutral pions and of direct photons are also presented. At an accuracy within 15{percent} limits, all observed photons are accounted for by known hadronic decays. 13 refs., 8 figs., 1 tab.
