Leptonic Observables in Ultra-Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

Abstract

We report on leptonic observables by the PHENIX experiment from data taken during Run II at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). We show first results on phi -> K+K-, e+e-, low and intermediate mass dielectron continuum, single electrons from charm, and J/psi yields in proton-proton and Au-Au collisions at sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV.
