sPHENIX assembly shifts into visible high gear
DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Brand new, state-of-the-art components for an upgraded 1000-ton particle detector are being installed at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Known as sPHENIX, the detector is a radical makeover of the PHENIX experiment, which first began taking data at the Lab's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in 2000. sPHENIX will significantly enhance scientists' ability to learn about quark-gluon plasma (QGP), an exotic form of nuclear matter created in RHIC's energetic particle smashups.
