Correcting a prejudice regarding high-energy nuclear collisions

At the end of next year, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is scheduled to go online. Already, there are four major experiments planned and one of them, ALICE, is dedicated to the study of heavy-ion collisions. Rudolph Hwa, a professor at the University of Oregon, says that the objective of a heavy-ion collider is to produce quark-gluon plasma (QGP), which is thought to be the matter existent at the beginning of the universe, just after the Big Bang.
