Just prior to the start of this year's run at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research at DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory—a team of scientists, engineers, technicians, and students completed the installation of important new components of the collider's STAR detector. This house-sized particle tracker (the Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC) captures the subatomic debris created when atomic nuclei collide so scientists can learn about the building blocks of matter. The new components will expand STAR's ability to track jets of particles emerging in an extreme "forward" direction, meaning close to the beamline through which the particles travel as they collide.
