Newsroom ArchivesItems tagged 'RHIC' Recovery Act Pushes High-Field Magnet Development ForwardAugust 25, 2009 With stimulus funds in hand, a collaboration of national laboratories, universities, and industry is testing a new material that could revolutionize the superconducting magnet field. Making Room for More DataAugust 20, 2009 A new building extension at Brookhaven Lab is nearly ready to house computing equipment for huge quantities of data from experiments around the world. Blue + Yellow = Green for Autism ResearchAugust 03, 2009 On July 30, the Brookhaven community thanked Renaissance Technologies for their generosity in supporting research by re-dedicating two Laboratory roads, now known as Renaissance Road and Renaissance Circle. As part of the event, Brookhaven Lab employees, students, and guests held a “Collide-the-Ions” walk to benefit autism research. Meet Astrid MorrealeJuly 29, 2009 A quick Q&A with Astrid Morreale, a RHIC postdoc at Brookhaven Lab who looks at small electrically charged particles called pions, which emerge from smashing two polarized proton beams together. Spotlight on the GluonJuly 21, 2009 On Tuesday, July 21, join Michael Begelas as he gives the Sambamurti Memorial Lecture “Spotlight on the Gluon” in the Large Seminar Room of the Physics Dept., Bldg. 510. Refreshments at 3 p.m., lecture at 3:30 p.m. "Summer of Science" Bloggers Visit RHICJuly 17, 2009 Writer Lizzie Wade and photographer Nick Russell are blogging about their experiences as they travel across the U.S. visiting physics research facilities. Recently, they visited BNL's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. A More Luminous Future at RHICJune 23, 2009 At the 2009 RHIC & AGS Users Meeting, more than 180 participants gathered to discuss the current funding situation, RHIC’s ninth run, and other issues for the user community. Physicist Nicholas Samios Awarded Gian Carlo Wick Gold MedalJune 04, 2009 Samios, former Laboratory Director and Director of the RIKEN BNL Research Center at Brookhaven National Lab, will receive the 2009 Gian Carlo Wick Award for his outstanding contributions to particle physics. RHIC 2009: Behind the ScenesApril 15, 2009 In this YouTube video, Run Coordinator Mei Bai explains how and why RHIC physicists are exploring the puzzle of proton spin as they begin taking data during the 2009 RHIC run. 2009 RHIC Run Features New Energy Milestone for Exploring Proton PuzzleMarch 27, 2009 Physicists working at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are exploring the puzzle of proton spin as they begin taking data during the 2009 RHIC run. For the first time, RHIC is running at a record energy of 500 giga-electron volts (GeV) per collision, more than double the previous runs in which polarized proton beams collided at 200 GeV. Ultracold Gas Mimics Ultrahot PlasmaFebruary 15, 2009 Several years after Duke University researchers announced spectacular behavior of a low density ultracold gas cloud, researchers at Brookhaven Lab have observed strikingly similar properties in a very hot and dense plasma "fluid" created to simulate conditions when the universe was about one millionths of a second old. RHIC, AGS Users' Meeting Reflects on Past, Looks Toward Future of Nuclear PhysicsJune 06, 2008 Participants in the 2008 Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) Users' Meeting got a taste of the rich history of nuclear physics at Brookhaven, as well as a glimpse of the future directions the Lab might take in the field. RHIC and Its Impact on Nuclear ScienceJune 06, 2008 On Wednesday, May 28, the RHIC and AGS Users' Meeting featured a special, all-day symposium entitled "RHIC & Its Impact on Nuclear Science." The talks started with Gordon Baym, who gave a historical perspective of the RHIC heavy-ion program from its inception at a 1974 workshop held at Bear Mountain. Korea University President Visits U.S. National LaboratoryMay 14, 2008 Professor Ki-Su Lee, President of Korea University, visited Brookhaven on May 13. Professor Lee came to Brookhaven Lab, a premier science research center, to get a first-hand look at PHENIX, a massive detector used for physics experiments on the early universe. New BNLer Joins LHC BloggersMay 06, 2008 Accelerator physicist Rama Calaga is one of six new bloggers on a website dedicated to covering the activities of U.S. researchers at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. In a few weeks, Calaga will also be one of the newest additions to BNL. Catching a Nuclear CurveballApril 22, 2008 For many years, physicists believed that quarks and gluons would be freed from their particle prisons at high enough energies, like those that existed in the microseconds after the Big Bang. They set out to see if they could recreate such a situation at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Long Island’s Brookhaven National Laboratory. Racing Ahead at the Speed of LightFebruary 06, 2008 Imagine trying to catch up to something moving close to the speed of light and sending ahead information in time to make mid-path flight corrections. Impossible? Not quite. Physicists at Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have achieved this tricky task. RHIC Scientists Serve Up "Perfect" LiquidApril 18, 2005 The four detector groups conducting research at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a giant atom "smasher" located at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, say they've created a new state of hot, dense matter out of the quarks and gluons that are the basic particles of atomic nuclei, but it is a state quite different and even more remarkable than had been predicted. Copper vs. Copper at the Relativistic Heavy Ion ColliderJanuary 12, 2005 Scientists searching for evidence that a particle accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory has created a new form of matter not seen since the Big Bang begin employing a new experimental probe, collisions between two beams of copper ions. New Machine Record for Heavy Ion Luminosity at RHICMay 05, 2004 The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven has established a new machine record for heavy ion luminosity, well above its previous performance. Luminosity is an extremely important measure of a colliding-beam accelerator's performance. |
