Heavy-ion physics is a dynamic field that investigates the behaviour of matter under extreme conditions by colliding nuclei at relativistic speeds. Such collisions create a short-lived, high ...

As the co-manager of BNL, the university benefits from direct access to some of the world’s most advanced research facilities, including the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the National ...

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 ...

Earlier, researchers from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider’s (RHIC) Star Collaboration unveiled the heaviest antimatter nucleus ever detected. This antinucleus, ...

Under ALICE Collaboration umbrella, the research team working with the Large Ion Collider Experiment, a major particle physics initiative at the European Organization for Nuclear Research ...
