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.
The
2008 Annual Fall Meeting of the Division of Nuclear Physics in
Oakland, California
By Jim Thomas
The Annual Fall Meeting of the Division of Nuclear Physics of
the American Physical Society was held October 23-26, 2008 at
the Marriott City Center Hotel in Oakland, California. Three
associated half-day workshops were also held on Thursday morning

The
UEC Open Forum Meeting
By Jim Sowinski
One of the important activities of the Users Executive Committee (UEC)
is to hold four Open Forum meetings for the users each year. These meetings
are to encourage open communication between the users, the UEC and the BNL
administration. It has become tradition for one of these Open Forum meetings
to be held at the yearly DNP meeting, and this was again organized for the
recent meeting in Oakland.

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.
