Close-up view of an array of cubic, pale crystals held in a copper framework. The structure is composed of multiple repeating units arranged in a symmetrical, grid-like pattern, with small white spacers at the intersections. A white male in a black top and beige pants lowers equipment into a hole in the snow and ice. A white woman with brown hair and a blue and black shirt and a white man with brown hair and a black shirt in front of a grey background. Gold ion collision snapshot in the STAR detector Pipes and cables on the exterior of the large blue STAR detector. A group of five people (two women and three men) stand next to a large, spherical scientific machine. Two people surrounded by a large aluminum sphere with dozens of cables. Two people in safety glasses hold glass beakers containing ball-and-stick models of nobelium molecules. They are surrounded by lab equipment that includes wires, foil-wrapped cables, metal apparatuses, and a computer screen showing data. Images of molecules are projected on the ceiling panels. Artist’s rendering of QGP formation in a nuclear collision at RHIC, in which a high-energy photon (purple line) and jet of correlated particles (cone) propagate back-to-back in the QGP. Jet scattering in the QGP broadens the distribution of their azimuthal opening angle.
