The differential cross section for the production of direct photons in p+p collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV at midrapidity was measured in the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Inclusive-direct photons were measured in…
The PHENIX experiment at BNL-RHIC recently reported the single transverse spin asymmetry $A_N$ for forward neutrons measured in polarized proton-nucleus collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200\,$GeV; $A_N$ in proton-aluminum and proton-gold…
Direct photons associated with jets provide a direct measurement of the effects of energy loss on the fragmentation of the parton as it propagates through the medium. Perturbative QCD calculations describe the direct photon cross section…
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…
PHENIX has measured direct photons in p+p and Au+Au collisions at sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV. The p+p measurement is in good agreement with pQCD expectations. The nuclear modification factor in Au+Au is found to be consistent with unity for all…
The PHENIX experiment discovered a large excess of low-$p_{T}$ direct photons in Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV compared to reference p+p collisions, which has been attributed to thermal radiation from the medium produced in the collisions. At…
We present measurements from the PHENIX experiment of large parity-violating single spin asymmetries of high transverse momentum electrons and positrons from $W^\pm/Z$ decays, produced in longitudinally polarized $p$$+$$p$ collisions at…
The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider explores the spin structure of the proton in polarized p+p collisions at center-of-mass energies up to 500 GeV. Tremendous experimental and theoretical progress has been made…
With proton-proton collisions at PHENIX a variety of direct channels are used to probe the proton substructure. Of the many channels available at PHENIX, charged pion measurements are expected to have sensitivity of Delta g and thus help in…
Photons are emitted at all stages of relativistic heavy-ion collisions and do not interact with the medium strongly. With access to the versatility of RHIC, measurements of low momentum direct photons are made possible across different…
The flavor-separated polarized parton distribution functions for light quarks and anti-quarks in the proton can be studied in the production of $W$ bosons in $p$+$p$ collisions. The $W$s are produced in processes like $u+\bar{d}\rightarrow…
A measurement of the differential cross section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of…
The PHENIX experiment has measured {\piz}s in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_{NN}) = 200 GeV, with good statistics for transverse momentum, pT, up to 20 GeV/c. A fivefold suppression is found, which is essentially constant for 5<pT<20 GeV/c.…
We present the first positive direct photon results in Au+Au at sqrt{s_NN} = 200 GeV along with initial p+p results at the same energy. The p+p result is found to be consistent with NLO perturbative QCD predictions within its large…
The production of prompt photons at high transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions (p-p) is a useful tool to study perturbative Quantum-Chromo-Dynamics (pQCD). In particular, they yield valuable information about parton distribution…
Large transverse single-spin asymmetries ($A_N$) have been observed for forward inclusive hadron production in $p+p$ collisions at various experiments. In the collinear perturbative scattering picture, twist-3 multi-parton correlations can…
We report the measurement of the parity violating single spin asymmetries for inclusive high transverse momentum electrons and positrons in polarized $p+p$ collisions at a center of mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV with the PHENIX detector…
PHENIX has measured transverse momentum spectra of charged particles at mid-rapidity up to 10 GeV/c in Au+Au collisions at sqrt{s}=200 GeV. For central collisions, the yield at high pT is significantly suppressed comparing to binary scaled…
Thermal photons are thought to be the ideal probe to measure the temperature of the quark-gluon plasma created in heavy ion collisions. PHENIX has measured direct photons with p_T < 5 GeV/c via their internal conversions into e+e- pairs in…
