National Synchrotron Light Source II

Rendering of the National Synchrotron Light Source II, currently under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory. NSLS-II is a new state-of-the-art medium energy storage ring designed to deliver world leading brightness and flux. The facility will be able to produce x-rays up to 10,000 times brighter than those produced at the NSLS today. This view looks northwest, towards the NSLS and Brookhaven's Center for Functional Nanomaterials.

NSLS-II Under Construction

An overhead view of the construction activity on Brookhaven National Laboratory's National Synchrotron Light Source II. When completed, NSLS-II will be the world’s leading storage-ring-based synchrotron light source. Photo date: May 2010.

Collision Event at STAR

Computer rendering of a collision of two beams of gold ions in the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The beams travel in opposite directions at nearly the speed of light before colliding.

RHIC Complex

A diagram of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) complex at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The complex is composed of several accelerator facilities "chained" together to provide beams which are collided in detectors located inside the RHIC ring.

Nanotube, buckyball model, Center for Functional Nanomaterials

The Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) at Brookhaven National Laboratory provides state-of-the-art capabilities for the fabrication and study of nanoscale materials, with an emphasis on atomic-level tailoring to achieve desired properties and functions. The CFN is a science-based user facility, simultaneously developing strong scientific programs while offering broad access to its capabilities and collaboration through an active user program. The overarching scientific theme of the CFN is the development and understanding of nanoscale materials that address the Nation's challenges in energy security, consistent with the Department of Energy mission.

Charmed Baryon

Photograph of the event in the Brookhaven 7-foot bubble chamber which led to the discovery of the charmed baryon (a three-quark particle). A neutrino enters the picture from below (dashed line) and collides with a proton in the chamber's liquid. The collision produces five charged particles--a negative muon, three positive pions, and a negative pion--and a neutral lambda. (The spiraling pattern on the left is from electrons moving in the chamber's magnetic field after being knocked out by a muon and one of the pions.)

Omega Minus

Bubble chamber picture of the first observed omega-minus particle --discovered in 1964 by a team of physicists from Brookhaven, the University of Rochester and Syracuse University, led by Nicholas Samios of Brookhaven, using the 80-inch bubble chamber at the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS).

STAR Detector

End view of a collision of two 30-billion electron-volt gold beams in the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The beams travel in opposite directions at nearly the speed of light before colliding.
