Identified Particle Production in p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au Collisions at RHIC
Measurements of identified particle production with the PHENIX experiment at
RHIC have reached a mature state, where a multitude of nuclear systems at
different colliding energies have been studied. The discovery configurations of
= 130 and 200 GeV Au+Au collisions have now been supplemented
by additional Au+Au and Cu+Cu configurations at various energies, along with
baseline p+p and d+Au runs at = 200 GeV. In this work we
present a systematic study of the Cronin effect in d+Au collisions and recent
results from p+p collisions. We then proceed to make a critical comparison of
pion, kaon and proton production in heavy ion and baseline systems, and discuss
the observed nuclear effects on hadron production.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, Proceedings for the 21st Winter Workshop on

Particle Production in Proton-Proton and Deuteron-Gold Collisions at RHIC
We try to understand recent data on proton-proton and deuteron-gold
collisions at RHIC, employing a parton model approach called EPOS.Comment: Invited talk, given at SQM2004, Cape Town, South Africa, 15-20

Jet Correlations of Identified Particles in PHENIX
Azimuthal two particle correlations at intermediate with one of the
particles identified have been measured at PHENIX. Trigger () baryons and mesons show little significant difference in the number of
associated particles () independent of centrality. For
inclusive hadron triggers with , associated
fragmentation particles with show a higher baryon to
meson ratio on the away side.Comment: talk given at Quark Matter 2004, 4 pages 4 figur
production and Cronin effect from p+p, d+Au and Au+Au collisions at GeV from the PHENIX experiment
We present results on identified particle production in p+p, d+Au and Au+Au
collisions at GeV at mid-rapidity measured by the PHENIX
experiment. The centrality and flavor dependence of the Cronin effect in d+Au
collisions is measured. The Cronin effect for the protons in d+Au is larger
than that for the pions, but not large enough to account for the ``anomalous''
proton to pion ratio in central Au+Au collisions.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, contribution to the proceedings of the 17th

Correlations at intermediate
Correlations among hadrons in jets produced in heavy-ion collisions are
discussed in the framework of the recombination model. The basic correlation at
the parton level is among the shower partons arising from kinematical
constraint. The resultant correlation between hadrons at intermediate is
amazingly rich in characteristics.Comment: 10 pages including 12 figures. Talk presented at the MIT Workshop on

Jet properties from - correlation in and +Au collisions at = 200 GeV
We review recent results on the charged pion - charged hadron correlation in
and + Au collisions as measured by the PHENIX Collaboration.
Properties of di-jet system, such as the jet shape, associated hadron yield per
trigger pion, and the underlying event are extracted statistically from the
correlation function in and . For
jet triggered with high pions ( GeV/c), no apparent differences in
the jet properties are seen between and + Au.Comment: Proceeding for Correlation and Fluctuation Workshop at MIT (April

Jets as a Probe of Dense Matter at RHIC
Jet quenching in the matter created in high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions
provides a tomographic tool to probe the medium properties. Recent experimental
results on jet production at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) are
reviewed. Jet properties in p+p and d+Au collisions have been measured,
establishing the baseline for studying jet modification in heavy-ion
collisions. Current progress on detailed studies of high transverse momentum
production in Au+Au collisions is discussed, with an emphasis on dihadron
correlation measurements.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figures. Plenary talk given at 17th International
Conference on Ultra Relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions (Quark Matter

Jet quenching at intermediate RHIC energies
The final state energy loss of fast partons penetrating a longitudinally
expanding quark-gluon plasma of effective gluon rapidity density
is evaluated and incorporated together with the multiple
initial state Cronin scattering in the lowest order perturbative QCD hadron
production formalism. Predictions for the neutral pion attenuation in central
collisions at the intermediate RHIC energy of GeV
relative to the binary collision scaled result are given. The quenching
is found to be a factor of 2-3 with a moderate transverse momentum dependence
and the attenuation of the away-side di-hadron correlation function is
estimated to be 3-5 fold.Comment: Discussion of the different approximations to 3+1D plasma expansion
and their impact on the energy loss calculation is added. The relation
between the quenching of the single and double inclusive spectra is also
clarified and shown in the right panel of Figure 2. 7 pages, 2 figure
