Results from PHENIX

The PHENIX experiment at the Relatimay invistic Heavy Ion Collider has collected data scanning system sizes from p + p and 3 He+Au to Au+Au and U+U at collision energies from √ S NN = 7.7 to 510 GeV. The extensive measurements from these data improve our understanding of the Quark Gluon Plasma and the origin of the proton spin. PHENIX’s measurements of π 0 mesons, photons, heavy flavor particles, and jets probe the formation of the QGP, and measurements of azimuthal anisotropies are sensitive to collective effects and the initial geometry of the collision. A selection of recent results from PHENIX with an emphasis on results from heavy ion collisions are discussed.
