Abstract
Over the past few years PHOBOS has continued to analyze the large data sets obtained from the first five runs of the relativistic heavy-ion collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The two main analysis streams have been pursued. The first one aims to obtain a broad and systematic survey of global properties of particle production in heavy-ion collisions. The second class includes the study of fluctuations and correlations in particle production. Both type of studies have been performed for a variety of the collision systems, covering a wide range in collision energy and centrality. The uniquely large angular coverage of the PHOBOS detector and its ability to measure charged particles down to very low-transverse momentum is exploited. The latest physics results from PHOBOS, as presented at the Quark Matter 2008 Conference, are contained in this paper.
