PHENIX Symposium: Physics With Our Current Upgrades
Wednesday, December 14, 2011 | Presented by Dave Morrison
On December 5, 2011, the PHENIX collaboration celebrated its 20th anniversary at a symposium, which began with some speakers’ recollections of early challenges and struggles in getting PHENIX approved, designed, and built. The speakers continued their talks with recounts of the many successes that occurred during the first 11 years of operations at RHIC, and ended with predictions of continued success for both RHIC and PHENIX in the next decade.
