QCD hard scattering results from PHENIX at RHIC
Abstract
Data on hadron production at high transverse momentum (pT> 2 GeV/c) in p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au collisions at sNN = 200 GeV from the PHENIX experiment at RHIC are reviewed. The single inclusive spectrum of light hadrons produced in central Au+Au reactions shows significant differences compared to p+p and d+Au collisions, and provides interesting information on the properties of the underlying QCD medium present in heavy-ion reactions at collider energies.
