[The Daily Galaxy - Great Discoveries Channel -Your Daily Dose of Awe: Science, Space, Tech] Quark Soup Served @4 Trillion Degrees Celsius (250000 Xs Center of ...: Scientists believe that a plasma of quarks and gluons existed a few microseconds after the birth of the universe, before cooling and condensing to form the protons and neutrons that make up all the matter around us ”” from individual atoms to stars, planets, and people. Although the matter produced at RHIC survives for much less than a billionth of a trillionth of a second, its properties can be determined using RHIC’s highly sophisticated detectors to look at the thousands of particles emitted during its brief lifetime.

[weird things] making quark-gluon soup with an atom smasher « weird things: The temperature inferred from these new measurements at RHIC is considerably higher than the long-established maximum possible temperature attainable without the liberation of quarks and gluons from their normal confinement inside individual protons and neutrons. However, quarks and gluons in the matter we see at RHIC behave much more cooperatively than the independent particles initially predicted for QGP [or Quark-Gluon Plasma].

[Science Blog] 'Bubbles' of broken symmetry in quark soup at RHIC | ScienceBlog.com: RHIC's most energetic collisions create the kind of extreme conditions that might be just right for producing such local regions of altered symmetry: A temperature of several trillion degrees Celsius, or about 250,000 times hotter than the center of the Sun, and a transition to a new phase of nuclear matter known as quark-gluon plasma. Furthermore, as the colliding nuclei pass near each other, they produce an ultra-strong magnetic field that facilitates detecting effects of the altered symmetry.

[Latest Science News Articles] Hot And Heavy Matter Runs A 4 Trillion Degree Fever - Science News: Physicists theorized that at extreme temperatures where matter changes forms, just the conditions when RHIC’s gold ions collide, asymmetrical “bubbles” might be formed, breaking the symmetry in the strong nuclear force. The RHIC results hint that asymmetrical bubbles form for all but head-on collisions of gold ions, suggesting left-right symmetry breaking.

[Labspaces.net Latest News RSS News Feed] Featured Article - Video: 'Perfect' liquid hot enough to be quark soup: Recent analyses from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a 2.4-mile-circumference "atom smasher" at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, establish that collisions of gold ions traveling at nearly the speed of light have created matter at a temperature of about 4 trillion degrees Celsius ”” the hottest temperature ever reached in a laboratory, about 250,000 times hotter than the center of the Sun. This temperature, based upon measurements by the PHENIX collaboration at RHIC, is higher than the temperature needed to melt protons and neutrons into a plasma of quarks and gluons.

[Science Codex - Science news, science articles, all day, every day] 'Bubbles' of broken symmetry in quark soup | Science Codex: UPTON, NY ”” Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) 2.4-mile-circumference particle accelerator, report the first hints of profound symmetry transformations in the hot soup of quarks, antiquarks, and gluons produced in RHIC's most energetic collisions. In particular, the new results, reported in the journal Physical Review Letters, suggest that "bubbles" formed within this hot soup may internally disobey the so-called "mirror symmetry" that normally characterizes the interactions of quarks and gluons.

"However," he added, "the quarks and gluons in the matter we see at RHIC behave much more cooperatively than the independent particles initially predicted for QGP."

[blog.if-else.fr] Scientists recreate Big Bang 'quark soup' | blog.if-else.fr: We were able to 'eliminate' the contribution from these other sources by exploiting RHIC's flexibility to measure them directly and to make the same measurement in collisions of protons, rather than of gold nuclei," said Barbara Jacak, a professor of physics at Stony Brook University and spokesperson for the PHENIX collaboration.
