This Podcast Was Recorded Inside a Particle Collider

We’re taking a field trip to the U.S.’s only particle collider, the
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), housed at Brookhaven
National Laboratory. Staff scientist Alex Jentsch takes listeners
through some basic terminology and interconnected technologies that
help Brookhaven researchers probe questions about our unseen
universe. The RHIC is winding down in preparation for the new
Electron-Ion Collider, which could help us discover the secrets of
the “glue” that holds visible matter together.  Be sure to
head over to our YouTube account to see the video version of this
podcast, shot on-site at Brookhaven National Laboratory!
