This article is devoted to results on pion-pion -Bose-Einstein correlations in central Pb+Pb collisions measured by the NA49 experiment at the CERN SPS. Rapidity as well as transverse momentum dependences of the correlation lengths will be…
PHENIX results for $J/\psi$ production in $p+p$, $d+Au$, and $Cu+Cu$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV are presented.
The BRAHMS experiment at RHIC has measured the transverse single spin asymmetries in polarized pp induced pion production at RHIC. The results from the RHIC run-5 shows a significant asymmetry for pi+ and pi- at moderate xF. The trend of…
Recent high-statistics Au+Au and Cu+Cu runs at RHIC have provided a wealth of new data that allow STAR to answer several outstanding questions regarding the nature of the hot, dense medium that is created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion…
Beam-helicity asymmetries for the gamma+p -> pi+ + pi- + p reaction have been measured for center-of-mass energies between 1.35 GeV and 2.30 GeV at Jefferson Lab with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer using circularly polarized tagged…
Using the forward time projection chambers of STAR we measure the centrality dependent Lambda and Anti-Lambda yields in d+Au collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN} = 200 GeV at forward and backward rapidities. The contributions of different processes…
While yields of Sigma0 have been measured in many different colliding systems, no measurements exist in high energy nuclear collisions. It also remains unexplored whether the relative yields of Sigma0 and Lambda change in collisions of…
We present transverse momentum distributions of charged hadrons produced in Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt(s) = 62.4 and 200 GeV. The spectra are measured for transverse momenta of 0.25 < p_T < 5.0 GeV/c at sqrt(s) = 62.4 GeV and 0.25 < p_T < 7.0…
We review recent results on hard observables in p+p, d+A and A+A collisions obtained by the PHENIX experiment. Emphasis is put on those measurements that provide insight into the properties of hot QCD media expected to be created in…
Many measurements of pseudoscalar mesons with S = 0 photoproduced on the proton have been made recently. These new data are particularly useful in theoretical investigations of nucleon resonances. How the new data from various labs…
A simple way to visualize event-by-event average $p_T$ fluctuations is by assuming that each collision has a different temperature parameter (inverse $p_T$ slope) and that the ensemble of events has a temperature distribution about the…
With the recent high statistics Au+Au and Cu+Cu runs at RHIC, it has become possible to systematically study jet properties in several different colliding systems with potentially different final state interactions. In this talk we present…
We report on measurements of directed flow as a function of pseudorapidity in Au+Au collisions at energies of $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}} =$ 19.6, 62.4, 130 and 200 GeV as measured by the PHOBOS detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).…
Recent results from the PHENIX experiment at RHIC are presented. In this second part of the overview we discuss new results on direct photon production at low p_T in Au+Au collisions and a systematic study of J/psi production in various…
Direct photons were measured with the PHENIX experiment in p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV. To tackle the p_T region below 5 GeV/c, direct photons were measured through their internal conversion into e^+e^- in Au+Au collisions.
The measurement of direct photons in s(NN)**1/2 = 200 GeV p+p and Au+Au collisions is presented. The signal is compared to NLO pQCD calculations, which, in case of Au+Au, are scaled with the number of underlying nucleon-nucleon collisions.…
The PHENIX Run 4 Au+Au dataset provides a powerful opportunity for exploring the angular anisotropy of identified particle yields at high pT. Complementing traditional v2 measurements, we present pi0 yields as a function of angle with…
Modifications of jet properties resulting from the coupling of jets to the strongly interacting matter produced in RHIC collisions are of great current interest. In recent work, the PHENIX collaboration has applied a novel technique to the…

We present the expected ALICE performance for the measurement of the p_t-differential cross section of electrons from beauty decays in central Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC.
