| The
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at
Brookhaven National Laboratory
is a world-class scientific research facility that began operation in
2000, following 10 years of development and construction. Hundreds of
physicists from around the world use RHIC to study what the universe
may have looked like in the first few moments after its creation. RHIC
drives two intersecting beams of gold ions head-on, in a subatomic
collision. What physicists learn from these collisions may help us
understand more about why the physical world works the way it does, from the smallest
subatomic particles, to the largest stars.
