The Smallest Drops of the Hottest Matter? New Investigations at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

March 19, 2014

During the 493rd Brookhaven Lecture, Anne Sickles discussed how physicists determine what happens before, during, and after individual particle collisions among billions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). She then explained how collisions at RHIC enable physicists to probe deeper into the mysteries of quark-gluon plasma and the strong force. Read more
