The American Institute of Physics has
picked RHIC as one of its Top Physics Stories for
2005. AIP wrote, "At the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider on Long
Island, the four large detector groups agreed, for the first time, on a
consensus interpretation of several year’s worth of high-energy ion
collisions: the fireball made in these collisions ... was not a gas of
weakly interacting quarks and gluons as earlier expected, but something
more like a liquid of strongly interacting quarks and gluons."
