Brookhaven experiment offers new way to study nucleus structure
Recently published research done at Brookhaven National Laboratory is offering a new, high-energy method for studying the structure of atomic nuclei. Scientists have been using the Solenoidal Tracker at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), known as STAR, to track the particles produced by ion collisions in the particle accelerator. Their research was published earlier this month in Nature.
