Recently, there is growing evidence that a new state of matter is formed in sqrt(s_NN)= 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC: a strongly coupled Quark Gluon Plasma of partonic degrees of freedom which develops a collective motion. Dilepton…
PHENIX has measured elliptic and triangular flow of charged hadrons in $p/d/^{3}$He$+$Au collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 200 GeV per nucleon pair, and elliptic flow in $d$+Au collisions at 200, 62.4, and 39 GeV. In order to asses…

We report the observation of partonic radial collectivity in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 200$~GeV via the $p_{\rm T}$-differential flow observable $v_{0}(p_{\rm T})$ using the \texttt{AMPT} String Melting model. For inclusive…
