Experiments

CMS

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) conducts research probing fundamental properties of the universe.

PHENIX

PHENIX’s final experiment was conducted in 2016, and the detector has now been deconstructed. The collaboration is working on finishing data analysis from the years of data the PHENIX detector provided.

sPHENIX

sPHENIX is a new experiment which is currently in the process of being designed and constructed.

Research Topics

Flow

Quark-gluon plasma behaves as a low viscosity fluid. The collective behavior of the system translates to the final state measurement as measured by flow coefficients.

Spectra

Heavy-ion collisions produce a wide range of particles. Pions, protons, and kaons are generally
