Book excerpt: This document describes the Brookhaven National Laboratory Proposal for the construction of a Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The construction of this facility represents the natural continuation of the laboratory's role as a center for nuclear and high-energy physics research and extends and uses the existing AGS, Tandem Van de Graaff and CBA facilities at BNL in a very cost effective manner. The Administration and Congress have approved a project which will provide a link between the Tandem Van de Graaf and the AGS. Completion of this project in 1986 will provide fixed target capabilities at the AGS for heavy ions of about 14 GeV/amu with masses up to approx. 30 (sulfur). The addition of an AGS booster would extend the mass range to the heaviest ions (A approx. 200, e.g., gold); its construction could start in 1986 and be completed in three years. These two new AGS experimental facilities can be combined with the proposed Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider to extend the energy range to 100 x 100 GeV/amu for the heaviest ions. BNL proposes to start construction of RHIC in FY 86 with completion in FY 90 at a total cost of 134 M$.
Download or read book Lectures on Quark Matter written by W. Plessas and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-01-11 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This set of lectures deals with the transition from nuclear matter to quark matter. The reader will learn not only about the theory of quark-gluon plasmas but also how they are obtained in the laboratory through heavy-ion collisions or where they can be found in astrophysical objects such as compact stars. The book fills a gap between well-known textbook material and the research literature and is thus perfectly suited for postgraduate students who wish to enter this field, for lecturers looking for advanced material for their courses and for scientists in search of a modern source of reference on these topics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dramatic progress has been made in all branches of physics since the National Research Council's 1986 decadal survey of the field. The Physics in a New Era series explores these advances and looks ahead to future goals. The series includes assessments of the major subfields and reports on several smaller subfields, and preparation has begun on an overview volume on the unity of physics, its relationships to other fields, and its contributions to national needs. Nuclear Physics is the latest volume of the series. The book describes current activity in understanding nuclear structure and symmetries, the behavior of matter at extreme densities, the role of nuclear physics in astrophysics and cosmology, and the instrumentation and facilities used by the field. It makes recommendations on the resources needed for experimental and theoretical advances in the coming decade.

Book excerpt: The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL has produced two physics runs with Au+Au collisions since its startup in 2000 at energies sqrt(s) = 130 and 200 GeV/nucleon-pair. The main motivation for the RHIC program is to search for Quark Matter, which may be produced in these collisions. This talk will focus on RHIC results obtained with the STAR experiment, and where we are with the Quark Matter search.

Book excerpt: This book focuses on new experimental and theoretical advances concerning the role of strange and heavy-flavour quarks in high-energy heavy-ion collisions and in astrophysical phenomena. The topics covered include • Strangeness and heavy-quark production in nuclear collisions and hadronic interactions, • Hadron resonances in the strongly-coupled partonic and hadronic medium, • Bulk matter phenomena associated with strange and heavy quarks, • QCD phase structure, • Collectivity in small systems, • Strangeness in astrophysics,• Open questions and new developments.
Download or read book Quark gluon Plasma Heavy Ion Collisions And Hadrons written by Edward V Shuryak and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2024-02-28 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third book on Quark-Gluon plasma and heavy ion collisions follows the previous ones, published in 1988 and 2005, that described theoretical proposals for a large program, and then the QGP discovery at RHIC.The present one describes the rather mature field, with extensive program at RHIC and LHC colliders and corresponding theory. QGP turns out to be a strongly coupled medium made up of quarks and gluons, existing in exploding fireballs. It is the hottest form of matter created in a laboratory. Other subjects discussed in the book are QCD vacuum structure, including topological solitons and nonperturbative phenomena. It also includes some recent progress in theory of hadrons, bridging hadronic spectroscopy with partonic observables.

Book excerpt: The collisions of two beams of heavy-ion particles, atoms stripped of their electrons, speeding around BNL's immense Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have long been expected to create a "quark-gluon plasma" in which the quarks and gluons that make up the protons and neutrons in the ions would move freely in a plasma-like system. But the final particles, detectable in the four experiments placed around the RHIC ring, tend to hide information about the earlier, hotter stage. So it is a challenge to elucidate the nature of the primordial system. What surprised scientists, however, was how strongly the quarks and gluons seemed to interact during the collision. This strong interaction makes the system produced at RHIC behave almost like a perfect fluid, one in which the hot matter formed shows a high degree of collectivity among the particles, rather than a gas, in which individual molecules move about randomly. Evidence from the four RHIC detectors has shown that the system formed at RHIC is potentially the most perfect fluid found in nature, at least since a few microseconds after the Big Bang, a state which RHIC was built to re-create. This result is all the more amazing since the system is so small, the collisions forming over distances 100 times smaller than a proton, and forms so quickly, in times on the order of a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a second (10-24 seconds). It was even interesting enough to the wider physics community to warrant first place in the American Institute of Physics' year-end review of top physics stories.
Download or read book The Rational for RHIC in the Context of Recent A A Data written by and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scientific foundation for RHIC is of course intimately connected with the ideas of a possible phase transition from the confined hadronic state of quark matter, to a state where quarks (and gluons) can move freely over distances many (several) times the nucleonic diameter (quark-gluon plasma). An important part of the rationale for the choice of energy of RHIC, relies on the idea of transparency developing from full ''stopping'' with increasing bombarding energy. It is also important that energy densities of may times that of the ground state of cold nuclear matter can be reached in ion-ion collisions. In this talk, we will examine whether the two latter premises seem to hold true in view of the data from A+A collisions at the brookhaven AGS-Tandem Complex and at the CERN-SPS. Finally, a few comments are made on measured slopes of hadronic p(up tack) spectra. 18 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physicists from around the world are using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to explore some of nature's most basic and intriguing ingredients and phenomena. At RHIC, two beams of gold ions (atoms that have had their electrons stripped off) travel at nearly the speed of light - what Einstein called relativistic speeds - in opposite directions around RHIC's 2.4-mile, two-lane 'racetrack.' At six intersections, the lanes cross and ions collide at such high speeds that fascinating things happen. It is the conditions that are created as a result of these collisions - conditions that exist for only a brief period (approximately 10-22 seconds) following each collision - that physicists are interested in studying. To learn how and why researchers analyze these collisions, join Saskia Mioduszewski, an associate scientist in the Physics Department, on Wednesday, April 20, at 4 p.m. in Berkner Hall, where she will present the 403rd Brookhaven Lecture, 'Probing the Matter Created at RHIC.' Mioduszewski will be introduced by Sally Dawson, Acting Chair of the Physics Department. In her talk, Mioduszewski will discuss the results from RHIC's experimental collaborations and how researchers hope to create a form of matter in which the basic building blocks of matter - quarks and gluons - interact freely in what is called quark-gluon plasma. Researchers believe that quark-gluon plasma existed at the birth of the early universe. As Mioduszewski will explain, characterizing the state of matter produced in the collisions is challenging because of its very short duration. She will describe the sophisticated probes that researchers have developed to meet this challenge.

Book excerpt: We review the physics of nuclear matter at high energy density and the experimental search for the Quark-Gluon Plasma at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The data obtained in the first three years of the RHIC physics program provide several lines of evidence that a novel state of matter has been created in the most violent, head-on collisions of Au nuclei at (square root)s = 200 GeV. Jet quenching and global measurements show that the initial energy density of the strongly interacting medium generated in the collision is about two orders of magnitude larger than that of cold nuclear matter, well above the critical density for the deconfinement phase transition predicted by lattice QCD. The observed collective flow patterns imply that the system thermalizes early in its evolution, with the dynamics of its expansion consistent with ideal hydrodynamic flow based on a Quark-Gluon Plasma equation of state.
