A Quarter-Century of Surprises: Exploring the Quark-Gluon Plasma

A massive blue ring with green wires looped inside of it and multi-colored wires coming out of the edges. There is a long rod that goes in a hole in the middle of it.

STAR Data Reveal 'Splash' of the Quark-Gluon Plasma

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.
