Speaker

Description

The PHENIX result at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has collected data scanning system sizes from pp and $^3$HeAl to Au+Au and U+U at collision energies from $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=7.7-510$ 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 $\pi^0$ 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 results from PHENIX with an emphasis on results from heavy ion collisions will be shown.
