Closing In On The Quark-Gluon Plasma
Martin writes "A series of presentations and a press conference was held today at Brookhaven National Laboratory about new
results from the Relativistic
Heavy Ion Collider. The latest run was finished only a few weeks
ago. The results are a new milestone in the search for the Quark-Gluon Plasma, a new
state of nuclear matter. The data were analyzed on large
Linux clusters at BNL and in Japan and France, with the biggest cluster of
about 1100 dual-CPU nodes located at the RHIC
Computing Facility. It's nice to see that results are out so soon
after the data were taken. There were previous stories about RHIC on /.,
here(1),
here(2)
and here(3)."
Could someone please add the word "beowolf" to the friggin' lameness filter?
