DESCRIPTION
The Focus of this Talk A complete discussion of the above physics topics and the application to all of the available p-p, p/d-A, A-A data from the last 30 years would be daunting … To keep this talk manageable and to provide it focus, I will concentrate on hard processes: –Single high-p T hadron production –Hadron-hadron (h-h) jet/di-jet induced correlations –Prompt photon production And from these partially address: –Hard scattering & issues in the application of pQCD to data at RHIC energies. –quark/gluon interactions in a “medium” –Saturation /CGC
