The production of e;{+}e;{-} pairs for m_{e;{+}e;{-}}<0.3 GeV/c;{2} and 1<p_{T}<5 GeV/c is measured in p+p and Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. An enhanced yield above hadronic sources is observed. Treating the excess as photon internal conversions, the invariant yield of direct photons is deduced. In central Au+Au collisions, the excess of the direct photon yield over p+p is exponential in transverse momentum, with an inverse slope T=221+/-19;{stat}+/-19;{syst} MeV. Hydrodynamical models with initial temperatures ranging from T_{init} approximately 300-600 MeV at times of approximately 0.6-0.15 fm/c after the collision are in qualitative agreement with the data. Lattice QCD predicts a phase transition to quark gluon plasma at approximately 170 MeV.

The momentum distribution of electrons from semileptonic decays of charm and bottom quarks for midrapidity |y|<0.35 in p+p collisions at square root of s=200 GeV is measured by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider over the transverse momentum range 2<pT<7 GeV/c. The ratio of the yield of electrons from bottom to that from charm is presented. The ratio is determined using partial D/D-->e(+/-)K(-/+)X (K unidentified) reconstruction. It is found that the yield of electrons from bottom becomes significant above 4 GeV/c in pT. A fixed-order-plus-next-to-leading-log perturbative quantum chromodynamics calculation agrees with the data within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties. The extracted total bottom production cross section at this energy is sigma(bb)=3.2(-1.1)(+1.2)(stat)(-1.3)(+1.4)(syst)mub.

For Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV, we measure neutral pion production with good statistics for transverse momentum, p_{T}, up to 20 GeV/c. A fivefold suppression is found, which is essentially constant for 5<p_{T}<20 GeV/c. Experimental uncertainties are small enough to constrain any model-dependent parametrization for the transport coefficient of the medium, e.g., q[over ;] in the parton quenching model. The spectral shape is similar for all collision classes, and the suppression does not saturate in Au+Au collisions.

Neutral pion transverse momentum (p_{T}) spectra at midrapidity (|y| less, similar0.35) were measured in Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=22.4, 62.4, and 200 GeV. Relative to pi;{0} yields in p+p collisions scaled by the number of inelastic nucleon-nucleon collisions (N_{coll}) the pi;{0} yields for p_{T} greater, similar2 GeV/c in central Cu+Cu collisions are suppressed at 62.4 and 200 GeV whereas an enhancement is observed at 22.4 GeV. A comparison with a jet-quenching model suggests that final state parton energy loss dominates in central Cu+Cu collisions at 62.4 and 200 GeV, while the enhancement at 22.4 GeV is consistent with nuclear modifications in the initial state alone.

Yields for J/psi production in Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV have been measured over the rapidity range |y|<2.2 and compared with results in p+p and Au+Au collisions at the same energy. The Cu+Cu data offer greatly improved precision over existing Au+Au data for J/psi production in collisions with small to intermediate numbers of participants, in the range where the quark-gluon plasma transition threshold is predicted to lie. Cold nuclear matter estimates based on ad hoc fits to d+Au data describe the Cu+Cu data up to N_{part} approximately 50, corresponding to a Bjorken energy density of at least 1.5 GeV/fm;{3}.

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 Deltavarphi=pi in central and semicentral 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.

The PHENIX experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has measured J/psi production for rapidities -2.2<y<2.2 in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The J/psi invariant yield and nuclear modification factor R_{AA} as a function of centrality, transverse momentum, and rapidity are reported. A suppression of J/psi relative to binary collision scaling of proton-proton reaction yields is observed. Models which describe the lower energy J/psi data at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron invoking only J/psi destruction based on the local medium density predict a significantly larger suppression at RHIC and more suppression at midrapidity than at forward rapidity. Both trends are contradicted by our data.

J/psi production in p+p collisions at sqrt[s]=200 GeV has been measured by the PHENIX experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider over a rapidity range of -2.2<y<2.2 and a transverse momentum range of 0<p_{T}<9 GeV/c. The size of the present data set allows a detailed measurement of both the p_{T} and the rapidity distributions and is sufficient to constrain production models. The total cross section times the branching ratio is B_{ll}sigma_{pp};{J/psi}=178+/-3;{stat}+/-53;{sys}+/-18;{norm} nb.

The PHENIX experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has measured electrons with 0.3<p_{T}<9 GeV/c at midrapidity (|y|<0.35) from heavy-flavor (charm and bottom) decays in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The nuclear modification factor R_{AA} relative to p+p collisions shows a strong suppression in central Au+Au collisions, indicating substantial energy loss of heavy quarks in the medium produced at RHIC energies. A large azimuthal anisotropy v_{2} with respect to the reaction plane is observed for 0.5<p_{T}<5 GeV/c indicating substantial heavy-flavor elliptic flow. Both R_{AA} and v_{2} show a p_{T} dependence different from those of neutral pions. A comparison to transport models which simultaneously describe R_{AA}(p_{T}) and v_{2}(p_{T}) suggests that the viscosity to entropy density ratio is close to the conjectured quantum lower bound, i.e., near a perfect fluid.

Differential measurements of elliptic flow (v_{2}) for Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV are used to test and validate predictions from perfect fluid hydrodynamics for scaling of v_{2} with eccentricity, system size, and transverse kinetic energy (KE_{T}). For KE_{T} identical withm_{T}-m up to approximately 1 GeV the scaling is compatible with hydrodynamic expansion of a thermalized fluid. For large values of KE_{T} mesons and baryons scale separately. Quark number scaling reveals a universal scaling of v_{2} for both mesons and baryons over the full KE_{T} range for Au+Au. For Au+Au and Cu+Cu the scaling is more pronounced in terms of KE_{T}, rather than transverse momentum.
