The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC / ˈ r ɪ k /) is the first and one of only two operating heavy-ion colliders, and the only spin-polarized proton collider ever built. Located at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in Upton, New York , and used by an international team of researchers, it is the only operating particle collider in the US.

在美国的布鲁克海文国家实验室（BNL）的相对论性重离子对撞机（RHIC）和欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）的 大型强子对撞机 （LHC）上都可以进行这样的重离子对撞。 我们先来看几个典型的温度： 对于室温的情况， T=20^\circ C ；太阳表面温度 T=6000^\circ C ；太阳内部温度 T=2\times 10^ {7\circ} C；核弹爆炸能达到 T=1\times10^ {8\circ} C 。

相对论性重离子对撞机（relativistic heavy ion collider，RHIC）是全球第一座重离子对撞机，也是唯一的一座自旋-极化质子对撞机。 RHIC由 美国 布鲁克黑文国家实验室 负责管理和运营，位于 纽约州 阿普顿市 （ 英语 ： Upton ） 。

2021年5月21日 · Two distinct features were discovered at RHIC and then confirmed at the LHC: the high opacity of the matter and its non-viscous, fluidic nature. The former, also known as jet quenching, is discussed in Section 2 and the latter, the hydrodynamic behavior in Section 3.

This article compares the new LHC results with those accumulated over the last decade at RHIC, focussing on the quantitative and qualitative di erences between the di erent energy regimes of these two facilities. 1. INTRODUCTION. = 200 GeV, opening a new energy frontier in the investigation of the strongly interacting quark gluon plasma.

2015年2月9日 · Abstract: The past decade has seen huge advances in experimental measurements made in heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and more recently at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These new data, in combination with theoretical advances from calculations made in a variety of …

1992年7月20日 · We discuss some reasons for studying heavy ion collisions at very high energies, and outline the global conditions (initial energy densities, temperatures and baryon densities, freeze-out volumes and lifetimes) to be expected at RHIC and LHC.

2021年10月27日 · We review the current status of jet measurements in heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). We discuss how the current measurements provide information about the quark-gluon plasma and discuss near future opportunities at both RHIC and the LHC.

What is the nature of QCD Matter at finite temperature? What is its phase structure? What is its equation of state? What are its effective degrees of freedom? Is it a (trivial) gas of non-interacting quarks and gluons, or a fluid of interacting quasi-particles? What are its symmetries?

2022年5月1日 · We review the current status of jet measurements in heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). We discuss how the current measurements provide information about the quark-gluon plasma and discuss near future opportunities at both RHIC and the LHC.
