Physicist Paul Sorensen, videographer Alex Reben, and writer Karen McNulty Walsh collaborated to produce this video on major discoveries at Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider as part of the Department of Energy's “Breakthrough” video series.
Photographer Stanley Greenberg captures "Quirky Photos" at Brookhaven Lab’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.
Brookhaven physicist Paul Sorensen describes discoveries made at the
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider where conditions similar to what the
universe may have looked like in the first microseconds after its birth are
created.

Four detectors -- STAR, PHENIX, PHOBOS, and BRAHMS -- help physicists analyze RHIC particle collisions. These detectors electronically record the results of collisions, seeking insight into what happens when quarks are liberated from their atomic nuclei.
Operated by Brookhaven National Laboratory, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics.
