Welcome to RHIC News

We hope that this web publication will in some small measure reflect the excitement of the RHIC and AGS program at Brookhaven, as explained by some of the people who are doing the experiments, analyzing the data, and writing the papers.

QGP - New Frontiers
By Edward Shuryak
This is a summary of my final talk at Quark Matter 2008 [1] containing brief review of recent theory developments and discussion of where we should go from here. Particular fundamental questions to be addressed: Why is sQGP such a good liquid? Do we understand deconfinement? Can we apply AdS/CFT correspondence to understand rapid equilibration and entropy production at RHIC? More...

Bad Vibes in RHIC
By Christoph Montag
Horizontal beam orbit jitter at frequencies near 10 Hz has been observed in both RHIC rings for several years. These oscillations are observed at all beam position monitors around the rings. The rms amplitude of this beam orbit jitter scales rather well with the local horizontal β-function of the RHIC lattice. This indicates that the oscillation is caused by multiple sources.  More...
