New Findings on Hot Quark Soup Produced at RHIC
Scientists to present latest findings from heavy ion collisions at APS meeting
Scientists to present latest findings from heavy ion collisions at APS meeting
EVENT: Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), the world’s largest particle accelerator dedicated to nuclear physics research, will present compelling new findings about the nature of the “perfect” liquid created in near-light-speed collisions of gold ions at RHIC.
WHEN: Monday, February 15, 2010, 9:30 a.m.
WHERE: The "April 2010" meeting of the American Physical Society (APS), Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, Washington, D.C., Press Room/Briefing Room, Park Tower 8222
DETAILS: The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is a 2.4-mile-circumference particle accelerator/collider that has been operating at Brookhaven Lab since 2000, delivering collisions of heavy ions, protons, and other particles to an international team of physicists investigating the basic structure and fundamental forces of matter. In 2005, RHIC physicists announced that the matter created in RHIC’s most energetic collisions behaves like a nearly “perfect” liquid in that it has extraordinarily low viscosity, or resistance to flow. Since then, the scientists have been taking a closer look at this remarkable form of matter, which last existed some 13 billion years ago, a mere fraction of a second after the Big Bang. At this press event, scientists will present new findings, including the first measurement of temperature very early in the collision events, and their implications for the nature of this early-universe matter.
