This article is about the particle accelerator. For other uses, see Collider (disambiguation). A collider is a type of particle accelerator involving directed beams of particles. Colliders may either be ring accelerators or linear accelerators, and may collide a single beam of particles against a stationary target or two beams head-on. Colliders are used as a research tool in particle physics by accelerating particles to very high kinetic energy and letting them impact other particles.
UPTON, NYâThe Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a powerful particle accelerator for nuclear physics research at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, just shattered its own record for producing polarized proton collisions at 200-giga-electron-volt (GeV) collision energy.n aerial view of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, the only machine in the world capable of colliding beams of polarized protonsâprotons whose individual spins are aligned in a particular directionâto tease out how the protons' inner building blocks, quarks and gluons, contribute to proton spin.
