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.
Celebrating
the past six years in STAR
By Jamie Dunlop
Last year, while the candidates for the U.S. Presidency were
stumping for their election, the STAR experiment was holding its
own election for the position of Spokesperson. Like the U.S.
President, the Spokesperson is limited to two terms in office,
which, in STAR’s case, spans 6 years. The latest term ended this
past February. This past Monday, a symposium at BNL was held to
celebrate the leadership of Tim Hallman, STAR Spokesperson for
the past 6 years, to chronicle the experiment’s success and look
forward to its future.

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National
Laboratory is a world-class scientific research facility primarily
funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. Hundreds
of physicists from around the world use RHIC to study what the
universe may have looked like in the first few moments after its
creation. What physicists learn from these collisions may help us
understand more about why the physical world works the way it does,
from the smallest subatomic particles, to the largest stars.
