RHIC

The team behind the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory has received the US Department of Energy's Secretary of Energy Achievement Award, one of the department's highest honors. The RHIC facility studies collisions of heavy ions to recreate conditions of the early universe, and the award recognizes the collaboration's contributions to nuclear physics research.

The team behind the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory has received the US Department of Energy Secretary's Achievement Award, one of the department's highest honours. The recognition highlights the collider's contributions to nuclear physics research, including work on quark-gluon plasma and other fundamental questions about matter.
