The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a colliding beam research facility that is capable of colliding heavy ion beams as heavy as gold initially and uranium recently at a beam energy of 100 GeV/nucleon for ultra-high-energy nuclear physics research. It is also capable of colliding polarized proton beams up to a beam energy of 250 GeV for the spin-physic…
