Let me take this opportunity to wish all of you and your families a happy and prosperous New Year, and to bring you up to date on 2011 RHIC highlights and plans and issues for 2012 and beyond.

As the heavy ion physics program has evolved at RHIC, improvements and upgrades in the Collider-Accelerator complex have paid off in both peak luminosity and luminosity lifetime. As a result, RHIC has been able to provide sufficient integrated luminosity despite shorter run lengths.
December 05, 2011
The RHIC physics programs rely on particle beams of exquisite quality. For high luminosity this means maximizing the beam intensities and ensuring that the bunches of particles comprising the beams are as small and dense as possible. For experiments with polarized protons, the beam’s polarization must also be preserved. Within the past few years the quality of RHIC beams has been improved significantly.

This was the first ever symposium of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences on the subject of Subnuclear Physics. Although the Pontifical Academy traces its roots to the Accademia dei Lincei, which was founded in Rome in 1603, the modern Academy dates from 1936.

Yasuyuki Akiba, the Experimental Group Leader at the RIKEN BNL Research Center, and Deputy Spokesperson of the PHENIX collaboration, was awarded the Nihsina Memorial Prize for 2011.

Direct photons are a powerful tool to investigate the collision dynamics. PHENIX has measured direct photons over wide pT ranges, including hard scattering and thermal photons, and extracted quantities, such as slope parameters, that reflect thermodynamic properties of the matter. An unexpectedly large positive elliptic measured for direct photons is difficult to explain by many models.
"Inside RHIC" is an online publication covering news and views of the RHIC and AGS program at Brookhaven National Laboratory at the level of engineers and students. The RHIC AGS Users Group is sponsoring this effort, and we have tried to cover the breadth of the efforts at RHIC, from physics results to machine and detector development.
