RIKEN BNL Research Center
RIKEN BNL Research Center
How was matter formed after the Big Bang? Scientists at the RBRC are pursuing this ultimate question of modern physics to understand the origin of matter and the universe. Their goal is to establish a new field of physics by coordinating theoretical and experimental research.
Physics Fellowship Program
The RIKEN BNL Research Center offers a Fellow system at Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) allowing joint appointments with universities and research laboratories throughout the world, enabling talented researchers to hold tenure track positions at their home institution as well as a Fellow position with the Center.
This system was established to increase the research potential of the Center and to disseminate its research activities and results. To date, nine RHIC Physics Fellows have received the U.S. Department of Energy Outstanding Junior Investigator Award and over 50 Fellows have received tenure at their home institutions since the inception of the program.
Institutions interested in initiating a new RHIC Physics Fellow position may obtain details on how to proceed by contacting Maureen McNeill-Shea, 1(631) 344-2758.
RBRC Research Groups
Theory
Y. Hatta, Group Leader
This group conducts QCD related research that includes heavy ion physics, the quark gluon plasma, color glass condensate and hard QCD/spin physics.
Computing
T. Izubuchi, Group Leader
This group's mission is to solve the dynamics of QCD from first principle lattice simulations using in-house computer resources.
Experimental
Y. Akiba, Group Leader
This group studies the spin structure of the proton via polarized p+p collisions at RHIC as well as the properties of quark gluon plasma.
