PHENIX highlights

Abstract

Highlights of recent results from the PHENIX experiment are presented. For Au + Au collisions at sNN=200 GeV these include direct photon measurements, obtained using conversion electrons from real photons, and Upsilon measurements. For Au + Au collisions at lower energies, the nuclear modification and v2 of electrons from open heavy flavor decays at 62.4 GeV have been measured, and preliminary three-dimensional HBT results at a range of energies are compared with data from other experiments. For d + Au collisions at 200 GeV, data are presented on correlations between charged hadrons and electromagnetic energy across a large rapidity gap, on the v2 of identified charged hadrons, on the open heavy flavor RdAu measured using semileptonic decay leptons, and on HBT radii as a function of the characteristic initial length scale.
