The PHENIX Experiment

The Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider, RHIC, at Brookhaven National Laboratory accelerates beams of nuclei, ranging from protons to gold. PHENIX [19] is one of four detectors operating to study collisions between the nuclei. The detector is divided into subsystems, built and maintained by a collaboration of about 500 physicists and engineers.
