Title: Relativistic heavy ions at Brookhaven: high energy nuclear beams in the AGS and RHIC

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6436576

The design and proposed experiments are presented for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven. The plans are to begin with relatively light ions (A approx. = 32amu) and to extend over the mass range to A = 200. With these relativistic beams one will be able to investigate thermodynamic conditions with near-zero baryon number which can be compared with quantum chromodynamics. 14 refs., 10 figs., 3 tabs.
