Transverse momentum spectra for charged hadrons and neutral pions in the range 1 GeV/c<p(T)<5 GeV/c have been measured by PHENIX experiment at RHIC Au+Au collisions root square[s(NN)] = 130 GeV. At high p(T) from peripheral nuclear are consistent with scaling p+p average number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions. The central significantly suppressed when compared to binary-scaled expectation, also similarly collisions, indicating a novel nuclear-medium effect energies.

We present results for the charged-particle multiplicity distribution at midrapidity in Au-Au collisions square root of [s(NN)] = 130 GeV measured with PHENIX detector RHIC. For 5% most central we find dN(ch)/d eta(vertical line eta 0) 622+/-1(stat)+/-41(syst). The results, analyzed as a function centrality, show steady rise particle density per participating nucleon centrality.
Two-particle azimuthal correlation functions are presented for charged hadrons produced in Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (sqrt [s(NN)]=130 GeV). The measurements permit determination of elliptic flow without event-by-event estimation reaction plane. extracted values (v2) show significant sensitivity to both collision centrality and transverse momenta emitted hadrons, suggesting rapid thermalization relatively strong velocity fields. When scaled by eccentricity zone...
Transverse momentum spectra and yields of hadrons are measured by the PHENIX collaboration in $\text{Au}+\text{Au}$ collisions at $\sqrt{{s}_{NN}}=130\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{GeV}$ Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The time-of-flight resolution allows identification pions to transverse momenta $2\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{GeV}∕c$ protons antiprotons $4\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{GeV}∕c$. yield rises approximately linearly with number nucleons participating collision, while...
Transverse momentum spectra of electrons from Au+Au collisions at square root[s(NN)] = 130 GeV have been measured midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The show an excess above background photon conversions and light hadron decays. electron signal is consistent with that expected semileptonic decays charm. yield dN(e)/dy for p(T) > 0.8 GeV/c 0.025+/-0.004(stat)+/-0.010(syst) in central collisions, corresponding charm cross section 380+/-60(stat)+/-200(syst)...
Two-pion correlations in square root[s(NN)] = 130 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC have been measured over a broad range of pair transverse momentum k(T) by the PHENIX experiment RHIC. The dependent radii are similar to results from heavy-ion 4.1, 4.9, and 17.3 GeV, whereas longitudinal radius increases monotonically with beam energy. ratio outwards sidewards (R(out)/R(side)) is consistent unity independent k(T).
The first measurement of energy produced transverse to the beam direction at Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider Brookhaven National Laboratory is presented. midrapidity density per participating nucleon rises steadily with number participants, closely paralleling rise in charged-particle density, such that <E(T)>/<N(ch)> remains relatively constant as a function centrality. calculated via Bjorken's prescription for 2% most central Au+Au collisions square root[s(NN)] = 130 GeV least epsilon(Bj)...

The transverse momentum spectra were measured for minimum bias 5% most central events. $\overline{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}/\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ ratios are constant as a function ${p}_{T}$ number...
Distributions of event-by-event fluctuations the mean transverse momentum and energy near mid-rapidity have been measured in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{{s}_{\mathrm{NN}}}=130 \mathrm{GeV}$ Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider. By comparing distributions to what is expected for statistically independent particle emission, magnitude nonstatistical determined be consistent with zero. Also, no significant nonrandom are observed. constructing a fluctuation model two event classes that preserve...
Data from Au + interactions at sqrt[s(NN)]=130 GeV, obtained with the PHENIX detector Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider, are used to investigate local net charge fluctuations among particles produced near midrapidity. According recent suggestions, such may carry information quark-gluon plasma. This analysis shows that dominated by a stochastic distribution of particles, but also sensitive other effects, like global conservation and resonance decays.
