2 Introduction Itzhak Tserruya ICPAQGP, Kolkata, February 2-6, 2015 2 RHIC is a unique machine for its versatility Can collide any species from p up to U, at any energy from the top energy of √s NN = 200 GeV down to 7 GeV PHENIX capitalizes on this versatility performing systematic studies of observables as function of system size and colliding energy This talk will focus on recent PHENIX results on these studies
