Hot Quark Soup Produced at RHIC
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC, http://www.bnl.gov/rhic ) is a 2.4-mile-circumference particle accelerator/collider that has been operating at Brookhaven Lab since 2000, delivering collisions of heavy ions, protons, and other particles to an international team of physicists investigating the basic structure and fundamental forces of matter. In 2005, RHIC physicists announced that the matter created in RHICs most energetic collisions behaves like a nearly perfect liquid in that it has extraordinarily low viscosity, or resistance to flow. Since then, the scientists have been taking a closer look at this remarkable form of matter, which last existed some 13 billion years ago, a mere fraction of a second after the Big Bang. Scientists have revelaed new findings, including the first measurement of temperature very early in the collision events, and their implications for the nature of this early-universe matter.
High-Density Concrete Used in NSLS-II Construction
When the NSLS-II is running, electrons traveling at nearly the speed of light and forced by magnets around a circular storage ring will produce energy in the form of light known as synchrotron radiation. Lead and concrete shielding around the injector and storage rings and along the beamlines will provide protection against these photons and neutrons, and radiation exposure to personnel working on the NSLS-II floor will be quite low. In this video, BNLs lead structural engineer Tom Joos describes how higher-density concrete can be used where shielding is particularly necessary.
2010 RHIC & AGS Users' Open Forum Meeting
