  1. BRAHMS at RHICAu+Au, d+Au @ snn=200 GeV • 100 AGeV + 100 AGeV Au+Au Ecm = s  40 TeV THE LITTLE BIG BANG and search for Quark Gluon Plasma. •  5000 charged hadrons produced per central Au + Au collision. • Nuclear Transparency, Bjorken boost invariant plateau? • Towards nuclear ’stuff’ with matter-antimatter balance • Equilibrated matter ? • High pt suppression, the smoking gun of QGP?
