Fresh, direct evidence for tiny drops of quark-gluon plasma
Upton NY (SPX) Jan 16, 2025 A new analysis of data from the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reveals fresh evidence that collisions of even very small nuclei with large ones might create tiny specks of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Scientists believe such a substance of free quarks and gluons, the building blocks of protons and neutrons, permeated the universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. RHIC's energetic smashups of gold ions - the nuclei of gold atoms that have been stripped of their el ... read more |
