A new analysis of data from the PHENIX experiment at the
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory reveals fresh evidence that collisions of even very small nuclei with large ones might create tiny specks of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP).

Department of Physics and Astronomy faculty Axel Drees and Gabor David are among the leaders of the new analysis.
