PHENIX has measured the e^+e^- pair continuum in sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV Au+Au and p+p collisions over a wide range of mass and transverse momenta. While the p+p data in the mass range below the phi meson are well described by known…
PHENIX has measured $e^+e^-$ pairs from p+p and Au+Au collisions as function of mass and $p_T$. The data can be used to probe the properties of dense matter formed in Au+Au collision. The relation between electron pairs and virtual photons…
Direct photon production in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV has been measured in the $p_T$ range of 1$<$$p_T$$<$5 GeV/$c$. The yield as acfunction of centrality is in agreement with published data of the RHIC 2002 run, and with…
PHENIX has measured the e^+e^- pair continuum in sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV Au+Au and p+p collisions over a wide range of mass and transverse momenta. The e^+e^- yield is compared to the expectations from hadronic sources, based on PHENIX…
This work presents measurements of electron-positron pairs from p+p collisions at sqrt(s) = 200 GeV collected during the 2005 RHIC run and compares them to results from Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV taken in 2004 with the PHENIX…
We present measurements of $e^+e^-$ production at midrapidity in Au$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$ = 200 GeV. The invariant yield is studied within the PHENIX detector acceptance over a wide range of mass ($m_{ee} <$ 5 GeV/$c^2$) and…
Electro-magnetic probes such as dileptons and photons are strong probes to investigate the thermodynamical state of the early stages of collisions since they leave the system unscathed. The PHENIX experiment has measured both photons and…
The production of low mass e+e- pairs for m_{e+e-} < 300 MeV/c^2 and 1 < p_T <5 GeV/c is measured in p+p and Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV. Enhanced yield above hadronic sources is observed. Treating the excess as internal…
Results from the PHENIX experiment on direct-photon production in Au+Au collisions at sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV for transverse momenta 1 < p_T < 13 GeV/c are presented. Direct-photon yields at high p_T scale as expected for particle production…
The J/$\psi$ yields in heavy ion collisions are expected to be a promising probe of deconfined matter, since theoretical models predict that the J/$\psi$ production could be strongly suppressed due to color screening effect in a Quark Gluon…
Results from the PHENIX experiment at RHIC on direct photon production in p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV are presented. In p+p collisions, direct photon production at high p_T behaves as expected from perturbative…
Electromagnetic probes are ideally suited to investigate hot and dense matter produced in high energy heavy ion collisions. They do not undergo strong interactions and thus probe the time evolution of the collision. The dielectron continuum…
The production of electron pairs with transverse momentum between 1 and 5 GeV/c and m< 300 MeV has been measured at mid-rapidity in 200 GeV p+p and Au+Au collisions by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. A significant excess above the hadronic…
$J/\psi$ measurements in $p+p$ and $d+Au$ collisions serve as crucial references to understand the $J/\psi$ production in $Au+Au$ collisions at RHIC where quark gluon plasma (QGP) is expected to be formed. They also provide important clues…
PHENIX has measured the dielectron continuum in sqrt(s_(NN))=200 GeV Au+Au and p+p collisions. In minimum bias Au+Au collisions the dielectron yield in the mass range between 150 and 750 MeV/c^2 is enhanced by a factor of 3.4 +/- 0.2(stat.)…
The direct photon spectrum measured by the PHENIX collaboration in Au + Au collisions at sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV has been analyzed. It has been shown that the data can be reproduced reasonably well by assuming a deconfined state of thermalized…
Thermal photons can provide information on the temperature of the new state of matter created at RHIC. In the p_T region of 1--3 GeV/c thermal photons are expected to be the dominant direct photon source. Therefore, a possible excess…
We present new results on the production of charged hadrons and neutral pions in Au+Au and d+Au collisions at sqrt{s_{NN} = 200 GeV, measured within the PHENIX experiment. We observe the opposite centrality dependence when comparing the two…
We present measurements by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC of di-hadron pair production in \dAu collisions where the particles in the pair are varied across a wide range of pseudorapidity, out to $\eta = 3.8$. With di-hadrons, varying the…
We report the recent results of proton and anti-proton yields as a function of centrality and p_T in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV, measured by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. In central collisions at intermediate transverse…
