CFNS and BNL scientists demonstrate new method of imaging the shape of nuclei at the STAR experiment
“In this new measurement, we not only quantify the overall shape of the nucleus — whether it’s elongated like a football or squashed down like a tangerine — but also the subtle triaxiality, the relative differences among its three principle axes that characterize a shape in between the ‘football’ and ‘tangerine,’” said Jiangyong Jia. The Stony Brook professor and member of CFNS is one of the principal authors on the STAR Collaboration publication. April 4, 2025 |

CFNS Researchers Find Direct Evidence for Tiny Drops of Quark-Gluon Plasma A new analysis of data from the PHENIX experiment at Brookhaven National Lab's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reveals fresh evidence that collisions of even very small nuclei with large ones might create tiny specks of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). RHIC’s energetic collisions of two gold ions routinely cause the QGP to form, but this new result, led by CFNS physicist Gabor David, strengthens the argument thatit is also created in smaller systems.

New York investing $100 million into Electron-Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory CFNS Director and Director of EIC Science Abhay Deshpande discussed the EIC with News 12. "EIC will allow us to study this “strong nuclear force” and the role of gluons in the matter within and all around us. What we learn from the EIC could power the technologies of tomorrow," Prof. Deshpande told reporters. Apr 9, 2024 |

Ribbon-cutting at Brookhaven National Lab for the sPHENIX Experiment Asmeret Asefaw Berhe, Director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science, visited DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory on Jan. 27 to celebrate the fast-approaching debut of a state-of-the-art particle detector known as sPHENIX. The house-sized, 1000-ton detector is slated to begin collecting data at Brookhaven Lab’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a DOE Office of Science User Facility for nuclear physics research, this spring. CFNS Distinguished Professor Tom Hemmick led the construction of sPHENIX's Time Projection Chamber, the main particle-tracking component of the experiment, which was delivered and installed earlier in the month.

At the 2022 National Society of Black Physicist (NSBP) Conference, Allen Pierre-Louis, a Master's student, won the first prize for nuclear and particle physics oral presentations with his talk "High Q2 electron-proton elastic scattering at the future Electron-Ion Collider." Allen is also the president of the SBU Chapter of the NSBP and is one of the student council members for NSBP nationally. The SBU Chapter was officially approved this fall as an official university club with about 12 members! December 2, 2022 |

A team of 13 principle investigators including Raju Venugopalan secured a grant from the Simons Foundation to study the "glue" that holds the visible universe together. The collaboation led by Igore Klebanov of Princeton University will bring together three communities of theorists specializing in the study of experimental data, computation and analytical approaches to QCD.

EIC Users Group meets at Stony Brook University for the 1st time in-person after the pandemic The EIC Users Group (EICUG) met at Stony Brook University's Wang Center from July 26-29, 2022 for their summer meeting. It was th first in-person meeting of the UG since the pandemic. It was also the first meeting of the Users after the decision regarding the 1st detector was made by the Detector Project Advisory Panel (DPAP). During this meeting at Stony Brook the name of the 1st detector (Electron-Proton Ion Colider, EPIC) was decided. The first detector collaboration was formed. With more than 100 person attending in person, and more than 150 remote participants, this was a very fruitful meeting. In-person participants also go to visit BNL and have a tour of the future location of the EPIC detector and the RHIC tunnel. This important event was preceded by a meeting of the Early Career Scientists of the EICUG (EC EICUG) hosted by CFNS on July 24-26, 2022. This meeting was supported by BNL, JLab and the EIC^{2} at Jefferson Lab. All talks, both for the EICUG and the EC EICUG and pictures of events during the meeting and the dinner at "The Tavern On the Green, in NY City" are posted on the EICUG meeting's main web page page.

National Academy of Science Report on the US Based Electron-Ion Collider Released The National Academy of Science (and Engineering and Medicine) has released their report evaluating the science case for the US based EIC. It affirms that "the science questions that an electron-ion collider (EIC) would answer are central to completing our understanding of atoms as well as being integral to the agenda of nuclear physics today. These questions about the fundamental building blocks of nuclei—neutrons and protons—and how they are held together in the nuclei of atoms, are compelling." ... Jul 24, 2018 7:56 PM |
