I often sit at work completely caught up and wonder, “what shall I do to make boring time, super fun time.” I finally have come up with a plan that will change boring time forever, ‘Super Fun Lesson.’
In my Super Fun Lesson’s series I will dare to go where no other thrill seekers have gone. You will be breathless and will marvel at the most brilliant exciting articles ever!! Take a look for yourself and never have boring time again.
Super Fun Lesson #1
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
(RHIC) is a heavy-ion collider located at and operated by Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in Upton, New York. By using RHIC to collide ions traveling at relativistic speeds, physicists study the primordial form of matter that existed in the universe shortly after the Big Bang (during the first 20 to 30 microseconds after the universe came into existence), and also the structure of protons.
Super Cool Things To Remember
1. Currently, RHIC is the most powerful heavy-ion collider in the world.
2. World’s highest energy accelerator for studying spin-polarized proton structure
3. Will cost the U.S. this fiscal year 2007: 143.3 million U.S. dollars
4. 73% of all plastics are recycled in the collider. (not really just seeing if anyone is actually reading this)
5. I have an Uncle Rick (see GOP)
Super Cool Experiments
1. STAR is aimed at the detection of hadrons with its system of time projection chambers covering a large solid angle and in a conventionally generated solenoidal magnetic field
2. PHENIX is further specialized in detecting rare and electromagnetic particles, using a partial coverage detector system in a superconductively generated axial magnetic field. The smaller detectors have larger pseudorapidity coverage
3. PHOBOS has the largest pseudorapidity coverage of all detectors. of all detectors, and tailored for bulk particle multiplicity measurement
4. BRAHMS is designed for momentum spectroscopy, in order to study the so called “small-x” and saturation physics
5. PP2PP investigates spin dependence in p + p scattering
Super Sucky Things To Remember
1. RHIC creates a black hole
2. RHIC creates a transition into a different quantum mechanical vacuum (false vacuum)
3. RHIC creates strange matter that is more stable than ordinary matter
I hope you have had as much fun as I have. Wow! Now that was SUPER COOL!
