Abstract

We discuss Results and Perspectives of RHIC experiments beginning from an overview of the physics and experimental tools at RHIC and then introducing the highlights of the experimental results to date: (i) collective flow, (ii) hard probes and (iii) other supporting evidence for the creation of a strongly coupled quark-guon plasma. We give an outlook to further, new physics results to be expected from RHIC experiments.
