2012年4月24日 · RHIC is the world's only machine capable of colliding beams of polarized protons to investigate the 'missing' spin of the proton. Before high-speed packets of heavy ions can be brought into collisions with one another, they first …

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.

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), at Brookhaven National Laboratory, is the only collider with dedicated running for heavy ion research (the CERN Large Hadron Collider runs heavy ions ~ one month per year), and the only polarized proton collider ever built. RHIC collides all ion beam species from protons to Uranium at energies up to ...

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 ） 。

What scientists learn from RHIC may help us understand more about why the physical world works the way it does, from the smallest subatomic particles, to the largest stars. Heavy ions begin their travels in the Electron Beam Ion Source accelerator (1).

Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider，RHIC 这一顶尖级研究设备经过10年的建设，于2000年正式运行。 来自世界各地的数百名物理学家，试图利用RHIC研究 宇宙起源 的最初时刻所发生的事情。

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is a world-class particle accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory. At RHIC, physicists are exploring the most fundamental

2003年3月1日 · The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is the US Department of Energy's forefront research facility for the nuclear physics program. The construction of the collider and a complementary set of four detectors, BRAHMS, PHENIX, PHOBOS, and STAR, were completed, as scheduled, during 1999.

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is a world-class particle accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory where physicists are exploring the most fundamental forces and properties of matter and the early universe. RHIC accelerates beams of particles (e.g., the nuclei of heavy atoms such as gold) to nearly the speed of light, and ...

首先简单介绍一下什么是 重离子对撞（Heavy Ion Collision, HIC）：相对论性重离子对撞机，加速的不是电子或者质子，而是重元素的原子核，比如说金核。 因为重离子中的核子—即质子和中子—比较多，比如说金核有197个核子，这样重的核子对撞后会在瞬间集聚大量的能量，进而“熔化”相撞部分的原子核，温度急剧升高，激发出大量的粒子，形成“熔融”状的物质，被称为“ 夸克胶子等离子体 （QGP） ”。 上图原子核对撞前呈“薄饼状”，是因为这些原子核速度极为接近光速，根据 …
