1 The time when PHENIX was born
August 2, 2013 RIKEN Nishina Hall The time when PHENIX was born Shoji Nagamiya RIKEN / KEK My talk today is to overview hadron facilities in the world.

2 Before 1991 1990: Workshop over July 4th holiday at BNL
Bob Ledoux Wit Busza 1990: Workshop over July 4th holiday at BNL Converged (?) to 7 working groups on various detector proposals Satoshi Ozaki John Harris My talk today is to overview hadron facilities in the world. Shoji Nagamiya Courtesy of W. A. Zajc

3 Last collaboration meeting as a PHENIX spokesperson

4 Shoji Nagamiya: Appointed as
OASIS Dimuon TALES /SPARHC RE2: Sam Aronson (spokesperson) PHEONIX: Photon, Hadron, Electron muOn Nucl. Ion eXperiment ??? Shoji Nagamiya: Appointed as PHENIX spokesperson. This was a big task (100K$/page)

5 GANG OF FOUR inside the RHIC Tunnel
Glenn Young Shoji Nagamiya Sam Aronson Leo Paffrath

6 Shoji Nagamiya OHP with hand written trans- parency QM’91 at Oak Ridge RHIC in LHC in 2000

8 High-pT suppression is planned,
but no flow measurements planned.

9 in 1992

10 Shoji Nagamiya: Appointed as
OASIS Dimuon TALES /SPARHC RE2: Sam Aronson (spokesperson) PHEONIX: Photon, Hadron, Electron muOn Nucl. Ion eXperiment ??? Shoji Nagamiya: Appointed as PHENIX spokesperson. This was a big task (100K$/page) The most difficult time for me! I tried to explain to the collaboration to install muon arm(s) soon by finding additional money. Turkey without Tail! Frank Plasil yelled! It was just before the Thanksgiving holidays From 1993: Effort to fund muon arms started. Approach to RIKEN + Approach to AEE from DOE.

11 Serious effort in obtaining outside funds initiated.
Detector in Chinese (Taiwan) Detector in Chinese (Beijing) Detector in Japanese, in particular, for RIKEN Serious effort in obtaining outside funds initiated.

12 All Gang of Four had Honda Cars. Photo taken in front of PHNEIX Counting Hall.

13 Shoji Nagamiya: Appointed as
OASIS Dimuon TALES /SPARHC RE2: Sam Aronson (spokesperson) PHEONIX: Photon, Hadron, Electron muOn Nucl. Ion. eXperiment ??? Shoji Nagamiya: Appointed as PHENIX spokesperson. This was a big task (100K$/page) The most difficult time for me! I tried to explain to the collaboration to install both muon arms soon by finding additional money. Turkey without Tail! Frank Plasil yelled! It was just before the Thanksgiving holidays From 1993: Effort to fund muon arms started. Approach to RIKEN. 1994: Approval of PHENIX

15 Two –arm version was proposed:
1994 (continued) Two –arm version was proposed: One from DOE and the other from RIKEN. Spin program combined into PHENIX.

21 Talks on AGS

22 RIKEN-BNL Center was approved. Bill Zajc was elected to the next
spokesperson.
