Highlights from PHENIX II: Exploring the QCD medium
arXiv:0907.4729 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2009.09.013
Abstract
Much of the present experimental effort at RHIC is now directed towards understanding the properties of the hot and dense colored medium created in A+A collisions. Recent results from PHENIX on the dynamical evolution of the medium and its response to high momentum probes are presented, and their impact on our overall understanding of heavy-ion collisions is discussed.
