Di-leptons are ideal probes of the strongly interacting hot, dense medium
created at RHIC. They are not affected by the strong interaction once
produced, therefore they can probe the whole evolution of the collision.
In different mass regions, di-leptons can be used to probe vector meson
in-medium modifications, Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) thermal radiations, and
color-screening features of...

Over the past years PHENIX has published multiple results on electron-positron pairs and direct photons from Au+Au collisions, which reveal a number of puzzling and not understood features. First measurements of direct photons at momenta below 3 GeV point towards a significant thermal yield consistent with initial temperatures well above the transition temperature. However, this thermal source...

This talk will present a global view of what has been learned to date from ALICE data about the interaction of jets with the hot medium generated in high energy nuclear collisions at the LHC. The discussion will incorporate measurements of inclusive charged and identified hadrons, hadron correlations, heavy flavor measurements, and first ALICE measurements of fully reconstructed jets,...
