We put forth conclusions and suggestions regarding the presentation of the LHC Higgs results that may help to maximize their impact and their utility to the whole High Energy Physics community.
In Spiring 2005, RHIC successfully completed its first long data collection run with polarized proton beams. PHENIX accumulated ten fold larger statistics with higher polarization than the previous spin physics run in 2003. This…
In this review talk, I first summarize the conclusions which can be drawn from a particle interferometric analysis of CERN SPS data and then I address related questions which are relevant for the upcoming experiments at RHIC.
I present here a concise review of the experimental results obtained at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), which shed light on the hot and dense quark gluon matter produced at these high temperature and density conditions.
New physics and detector concepts for a future pp and heavy ion program at the RHIC-II accelerator facility will be discussed. I will focus on hadronic observables which enable us to gain a better understanding on the hadronization from a…

In late 2001 the first polarized proton collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) took place. The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has a broad program to investigate the spin structure of the proton. This program will be described,…
The study of high energy nuclear collisions has entered a new stage with RHIC; it therefore seems a good time to ask what we have learned from the experimental results obtained up to now. I recall what we had expected to find when the SPS…
