Our current research projects include:
STAR @ RHIC
STAR will search for signatures of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formation and investigate the behavior of strongly interacting matter at high energy density. Local groups include:
E895@AGS
This experiment will study multiparticle correlations, as well as particle production and critical phenomena in a variety of heavy ion systems up to Au + Au, over a range of AGS beam energies.
NA49@CERN SPS
This large acceptance tracking spectrometer at the CERN SPS Lead Beam Facility investigates hadronic signals of plasma formation and does hadron "thermometry". See also CERN's NA49 page.
STAR Inner Vertex Project
This is high-resolution inner vertex detector to be placed inside of the SVT at STAR.
Particle Physics Data Grid
This collaboration of six HENP experiments and
and four Computer Science teams are adapting and integrating data grid middleware
into the end-to-end applications of the physics experiments.
