First direct evidence of quark-gluon plasma seen in small nuclear collision
Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have found new evidence that collisions of small nuclei with large ones can create tiny specks of quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state of ...

Siberian Snake' Magnets at Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (IMAGE)
RHIC's "siberian snake" magnets have a corkscrew-like design, which causes the direction of the magnetic field to spiral along the direction of the beam. There are two snakes in each of RHIC’s ...

Where string theory meets reality?
High-energy accelerators usually collide particles such as electrons or protons, but in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, in operation since 2000 ...
