That is atom smashing fun in the Northeast’s largest particle accelerator, where physicists study what the universe may have looked like in the first few moments after its creation.
Take a walk into the tunnel that houses RHIC’s twin accelerators and see where ion beams travel near the speed of light. Visit detector experiments, PHENIX and STAR, and learn about conditions that existed in the universe a microsecond after the Big Bang.
