Byline: Brookhaven National Laboratory
DALLAS, April 24 (AScribe Newswire) -- At the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, scientists have proposed a new way of studying the structure of matter down to a level never before observed. Their proposal is the "eRHIC" collider, a planned upgrade to Brookhaven's giant particle accelerator, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC).
"The eRHIC facility will give physicists the ability to make some very important and unique particle and nuclear-physics measurements," said Abhay Deshpande, a physicist at Stony Brook University who is part of the eRHIC team. "It promises significant leaps in ...
