Description

The PHENIX experiment collected data from a variety of collision species and energies at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) through 2016. Analyses of the large amounts of data collected continue to yield intriguing results that further our understanding of QCD from understanding properties of the proton to the hot dense phase of nuclear matter produced in heavy ion collisions known as the quark gluon plasma (QGP). In particular, PHENIX uses measurements of photons, heavy flavor, and jet particles to probe properties of the QGP in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions. To explore the onset of these QGP effects, PHENIX has measured flow, quarkonia, and direct photons in small collision systems. PHENIX also utilizes the polarized proton collisions to study the spin structure of the proton. A selection of recent results, focused on measurements in heavy ion collisions, from the PHENIX collaboration will be highlighted in this talk.
