Article Abstract:

John C. Cramer, an experimental physicist, talks about a Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) puzzle and how he solved it. RHIC is a large accelerator project that accelerates heavy nuclei in opposite directions to nearly the speed of light and then brings them into collision, creating an ultra-hot fireball.
