Research Spotlight: Can we recreate and study the conditions of the
universe right after the Big Bang?
|
Profs. Greene and Maguire are collaborating on a series of
experiments that intend to recreate and investigate this phase
transition in the laboratory by colliding heavy ions at
ultra-relativistic energies. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider
(RHIC), which is in operation now at Brookhaven National
Laboratory, offers the best opportunity to achieve this goal. RHIC
experiments are generating huge data sets (thousands of Terabytes,
where 1 Terabyte = 1000 Gigabytes). Finding a signature for the QGP
in this data requires substantial computing for both data
analysis and simulation.
