Overview of PHENIX Experiment at RHIC

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has been operated since 2001, contributing significantly to the study of strong interactions described by QCD and of nuclear matter under extreme conditions. The PHENIX experiment has collected a comprehensive dataset and continues to publish scientific papers, yielding impactful insights from the initial to final stages of nucleus collisions. Recently published results advance our understanding of strong interactions and nuclear matter. Abstract Published by the Jagiellonian University 2026 authors
