System Size and Energy Dependence of Jet-Induced Hadron Pair Correlation Shapes in Cu+Cu and Au+Au Collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 and 62.4 GeV
We present azimuthal angle correlations of intermediate transverse momentum
(1-4 GeV/c) hadrons from {dijets} in Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) =
62.4 and 200 GeV. The away-side dijet induced azimuthal correlation is
broadened, non-Gaussian, and peaked away from \Delta\phi=\pi in central and
semi-central collisions in all the systems. The broadening and peak location
are found to depend upon the number of participants in the collision, but not
on the collision energy or beam nuclei. These results are consistent with sound
or shock wave models, but pose challenges to Cherenkov gluon radiation models.Comment: 464 authors from 60 institutions, 6 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables.

Scaling properties of azimuthal anisotropy in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV
Detailed differential measurements of the elliptic flow for particles
produced in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV are presented.
Predictions from perfect fluid hydrodynamics for the scaling of the elliptic
flow coefficient v_2 with eccentricity, system size and transverse energy are
tested and validated. For transverse kinetic energies KE_T ~ m_T-m up to ~1
GeV, scaling compatible with the hydrodynamic expansion of a thermalized fluid
is observed for all produced particles. For large values of KE_T, the mesons
and baryons scale separately. A universal scaling for the flow of both mesons
and baryons is observed for the full transverse kinetic energy range of the
data when quark number scaling is employed. In both cases the scaling is more
pronounced in terms of KE_T rather than transverse momentum.Comment: 422 authors from 58 institutions, 6 pages, 3 figures. Submitted to

Quarkonium production from d+Au to Au+Au collisions
M. Rosati on behalf of the PHENIX Collaboration EIThe PHENIX experiment measured J/ production in pp, d+Au and Au+Au reactions at \sqrt{^sNN}\psi$ production in Au+Au collisions was compared to the production in pp collisions and it was found to be inconsistent with models that predict strong enhancement relative to binary collision scaling
