Scientists at Brookhaven’s RHIC have calibrated the sPHENIX detector, confirming it can track particle collisions with high precision. Now ready for full operations, sPHENIX will study quark-gluon plasma—the fleeting primordial matter from the Big Bang. By analyzing its “ashes,” physicists aim to reconstruct how the universe looked in its earliest microseconds...
