Here, we present results from the PHENIX Experiment for Au+Au collisions with $$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$$ = 7.9, 19.6, 27, 39, 626, and 200GeV. Measurements of the charged particle multiplicity at central rapidity scale linearly with the number of participant quarks for $$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$$ = 62GeV and above; for $$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$$ = 27GeV and below the multiplicity scales with the number of participant nucleons. For the HBT radii we perform a linear interpolation for radii from PHENIX, STAR, and ALICE to a mT = 0.26GeV and calculate ratios and differences in quadrature at this value of the transverse mass. We observe a non-monotonic behavior near $$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$$ = 19GeV in the form of a peak in $$R^2_o - R^2_s$$ and a dip in $$(R_s - \sqrt{2}\bar{R})/R_l$$.
