Recent results from PHOBOS at RHIC

Abstract The PHOBOS experiment at RHIC has recorded measurements for AuAu collisions spanning nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energies from √ S NN = 19.6 GeV to 200 GeV. Global observables such as elliptic flow and charged particle multiplicity provide important constraints on model predictions that characterize the state of matter produced in these collisions. The nearly 4π acceptance of the PHOBOS experiment provides excellent coverage for complete flow and multiplicity measurements. Results including beam energy and centrality dependencies are presented and compared to elementary systems.
