Preparing for Run 23, RHIC is geared up to collide gold ions in high-energy collisions.

An aerial view of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, including the STAR and sPHENIX detectors, is seen in this image. The upcoming physics run at RHIC marks a new era as sPHENIX, a new detector that has been in development for a decade, observes the collisions between gold atoms at nearly the speed of light for the first time. The STAR detector, which has been evolving since 2000, will also see some firsts in this run, such as the detection of more particles at wider angles. RHIC’s research into heavy-ion collisions allows scientists to understand how matter behaves by studying quark-gluon plasma—the substance that existed when the universe was born. The complex sPHENIX detector is set to undergo commissioning, with systematic testing planned to ensure all of the components work together to capture collision details.
