RHIC data and small x physics

Abstract

This is a short review of some RHIC results that have been most important for the small x physics community. We discuss saturation effects in deuteron-gold collisions, particle production in gold-gold collisions and some effects of the large "glasma" field configurations in the early stages of the collision.
