Welcome to the RHI Group page
The
relativistic heavy ion group at Vanderbilt studies nuclear matter at
extereme temperatures and energy densities. The goal is to understand
the nature of confinement and chiral symmetry by producing and
characterizing Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) - the state of matter that
existed in the first microsecond of our Universe. We perform our
research
at the Relativistic
Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)
as a
member of the PHENIX
experiment.
