The Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC, known as STAR, tracks the thousands of particles produced by ion collisions at RHIC. STAR is used to search for signatures of the form of matter that RHIC was designed to create: the quark-gluon plasma.| www.bnl.gov
sPHENIX is a radical makeover of the PHENIX experiment, one of the original detectors at Brookhaven Lab’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). It includes many new components that significantly enhance scientists’ ability to learn about quark-gluon plasma (QGP).| www.bnl.gov
Physicists from around the world are using the Relativistic Heavy Ion | www.bnl.gov
The RHIC program constitutes a technical, scientific wellspring that feeds many fields. Maintaining such facilities keeps an ever-more-sophisticated, highly specialized workforce growing.| www.bnl.gov

Physicists are building a new machine--an Electron-Ion Collider--to look inside the protons and neutrons that make up the atomic nucleus. The EIC will be a particle accelerator that collides electrons with protons and nuclei to produce snapshots of those particles' internal structure.| www.bnl.gov
