Scientists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) usually capture what happens when ...

Physicists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have published the first observation of directed flow of hypernuclei. These short-lived, rare nuclei contain at ...

Superconducting magnets inside the tunnel of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility for nuclear research at Brookhaven National ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to reveal subtle details about the shapes of atomic nuclei. The method is ...

High-energy nuclear collisions provide a unique site for the synthesis of both nuclei and antinuclei at temperatures of kT ≈ 100 − 150 MeV. In these little bangs of transient collisions, a quark-gluon ...

The twin rings of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) will soon begin colliding ions. On the menu for Run 24: collisions of polarized protons followed later by gold-gold smashups. At RHIC, the ...

Physicists have found a new way to study the shape of atomic nuclei — by obliterating them in high-energy collisions. The method could help scientists to better understand nuclei’s shapes, which, for ...

Rachel Feltman: For Scientific American’s Science Quickly, this is Rachel Feltman. Today we’re taking you on another one of our Friday Fascination field trips with an auditory journey to Brookhaven ...
