Description

The progress in the status of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) project and related R and D is presented. The preparation for the RHIC construction has been directed mainly at two technical areas. The first is to generate a viable accelerator design and to solve accelerator physics questions so that a reliable performance estimate can be made. The second area is to develop a suitable design of superconducting magnets which matches the requirements from the machine design. The salient design features of the RHIC collider which make it unique as a dedicated heavy ion physics machine are also described. (R.P.) 6 figs.; 2 tabs
