Creators

  • 1. Brookhaven National Lab, Upton, New York, 11973 (United States)

Description

PHENIX is an large nuclear physics experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider located at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The multi-kiloton detector is designed to address a spectrum of physics topics that range from quark-gluon plasma formation to spin structure of the nucleon and structure function physics. PHENIX is composed of a set of subdetectors that allow for a wide variety of spectrometry, calorimetry and event characterization measurements.The experiment has just completed its third year of data taking
