1 1 RHIC l Located at Brookhaven National Laboratory l Major Columbia involvement in the PHENIX experiment: o Profs. B. Cole, J. Nagle, W. Zajc (spokesperson) o Research Associate C.Y. Chi o Postdocs S. Batsouli, S. Kelly o Students M. Chiu, J. Frantz, C. Zhang

2 2 PHENIX at RHIC o 3 global detectors o 2 central spectrometers West East o 2 forward spectrometers South North

3 3 Central Magnet East Carriage West Carriage Ring Imaging Cerenkov Drift Chamber Beam-Beam Counter PHENIX Central

4 4 What is PHENIX? l Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment l Goals: o Broadest possible study of nuclear collisions to uStudy nuclear matter under extreme conditions uMeasure spin structure of the nucleon o Perform “experimental gauge theory”: è Only in QCD can we study m Running of coupling from weak to strong limit m Both particle interactions and condensed matter in the strong limit
