In the universe's earliest moments, particles existed in an unimaginably hot plasma, whose behaviour was governed by deeply complex webs of interaction between individual particles. Today, researchers ...

The sPHENIX particle detector, the newest experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, has released its first ...

Thanks to accelerator advances, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a powerful nuclear physics research facility has just shattered its own record for producing polarized proton collisions at ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear ...

Accelerated ion beams heat up. This causes a problem for physicists trying to get the particles to collide. So physicists are exploring ways to cool the beams and keep their particles tightly packed.

The LHC's proton collisions, which have now successfully nailed down the existence of the Higgs boson, get most of the attention, both in the media and at CERN itself. But, for a few weeks each year, ...

UPTON, NY--The 20th year of particle collisions is underway at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider](RHIC), a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research at ...

About the book: The past decade has seen unprecedented developments in the understanding of relativistic fluid dynamics in and out of equilibrium, with connections to astrophysics, cosmology, string ...

The 25th Zimányi Winter School gathered 120 researchers in Budapest to discuss recent advances in medium- and high-energy ...

Physicists have rooted through a morass of collisions to find the heaviest antimatter nucleus yet inside one of their particle accelerators. Collisions between gold nuclei at the Relativistic Heavy ...
