Produce 250,000 times the temperature of the sun

Physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory (USA) have been included in the Guinness Book of Records because, in a series of experiments on the collisions of gold ions in the RHIC accelerator, they obtained a material that exists in heat. Unbelievable height - about 4 trillion degrees, which is 250,000 times higher than the center of the Sun.

Guinness World Records has officially recognized Brookhaven's success in 'Creating the highest temperature'.

In the relative relativistic heavy Ion Collider, the physicists have launched a beam of gold atoms approaching the speed of light in order to obtain the Quark-gluon, which according to physicists, filled the universe in the first microseconds after appearing 13.7 billion years ago.

In its normal state, quarks are 'confined' to protons and neutrons. When heavy ions collide, the temperature rises so high that protons and neutrons 'leak' , creating quark-gluon plasma. Based on this, the scientists conclude that quark-gluon material is almost like an ideal liquid.

Experiments to create quark-gluon material were conducted at other nuclear research centers, particularly on the CERN's large LHC accelerator (located at the French and Swiss borders).

The physicists here put the lead ions colliding with each other and monitor the collision results using the dedicated ALICE detector. The energy density that LHC achieves is three times higher than RHIC. This means that the temperature at the LHC at that time is 30% higher than the RHIC temperature.

However, scientists at CERN have not officially released their temperature measurements, so the Guinness Book of Records only acknowledges the success of the RHIC.

Russian physicists also plan to study quark-gluon plasma on the NICA heavy ion accelerator at the High Energy Laboratory of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINC) located in Dubna, north of the capital, Moscow. .
