Description

Using the extraordinary versatility of RHIC in selecting different colliding species, the PHENIX experiment has collected data in p+Al, p+Au, d+Au, and 3He+Au at 200 GeV center-of-mass energy and conducted a comprehensive set of anisotropic flow measurements. These geometry-controlled experiments provide a unique testing ground for early state dynamics using different theoretical models. Recent PHENIX results that will be presented at this conference include a complete set of elliptic and triangular anisotropies of inclusive charged particles as a function of multiplicity, rapidity and pT, as well as v2 measurements of identified hadrons and multi-particle correlations. Detailed model comparisons with all observables will be discussed.
