Scientists at the PHENIX experiment at RHIC have uncovered compelling evidence that even collisions involving small nuclei with large ones can produce tiny droplets of quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state of matter believed to have existed moments after the Big …
Particles of light emitted from collisions of deuterons with gold ions provide direct evidence that energetic jets get ‘stuck’ — a key signature of quark-gluon plasma. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: Sci… [+15271 chars]
