(a) The average photon multiplicity $\langle N_{\rm \gamma} \rangle$ within 2.3 $< \etalab <$ 3.9 as a function of the average number of participants for various centrality estimators in \pPb collisions at \fivenn. Values of $\langle N_{\rm \gamma} \rangle$/$\langle \Npart \rangle$ are shown as a function of $\langle \Npart \rangle$ (b) and $\langle N_{\rm \gamma} \rangle$ (c). The lines between the data points are to guide the eye. The data point for \pp collisions at \five is also included for reference.
