Relativistic heavy ion collider smashes record for polarized proton luminosity
Upton NY (SPX) Apr 17, 2015 - The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a powerful particle accelerator for nuclear physics research at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, just shattered its own record for producing polarized proton collisions at 200-giga-electron-volt (GeV) collision energy. In the experimental run currently underway at this two-ringed, 2.4-mile-circumference particle collider, ... more
