/ Abstract
The Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) [1] is situated at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) on Long Island, New York. It has operated since 2000 and delivers protons to Gold (Au) nuclei at a center of mass energy of up to \( \sqrt {{{s_{{pp}}}}} = {\text{ 500 GeV}} \) for protons and \( \sqrt {{{s_{{nn}}}}} = {\text{ 200 GeV}} \) for heavy-ions. The two independent accelerator rings have circumferences of 3.8 km.
