New Experimental Results from RHIC

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

In the past two years we have witnessed a leap forward in the understanding high temperature, high density, and strongly interacting matter produced in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Combining measurements of Au+Au, d+Au, and p+p collisions at energies up to $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV, the four RHIC experimental groups, STAR, PHENIX, PHOBOS, and BRAHMS, have produced impressive experimental evidence for the existence of a new form of matter. In this talk, I will present an overview of the latest experimental results from RHIC.
