About High Energy (Nuclear) Physics...




The PHENIX Experiment, located at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL),
    home of the RHIC Accelerator.

    (PHENIX: Pioneering High-Energy Nulcear Interaction eXperiment;   RHIC: Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider)

PHENIX at UNM
    (from the web pages of the New Mexico Center for Particle Physics)

PHENIX collaborators' photos...   (WARNING:   ~260 faces (~58%)! )

More PHENIX background material here...   (PISA Monte Carlo page, below)




The ATLAS Experiment on the LHC Accelerator at the
    Conseil Europeen pour le Recherche Nucleaire (CERN),
    the Center for European Nuclear Research, in Geneva.
