The relativistic heavy ion collider rhic at brookhaven is


The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven is colliding fully ionized gold (Au) nulcei accelerated to an energy of 200 GeV per nucleon. Each Au nucleus contains 197 nucleons.

(a) What is the speed of each Au nucleus just before collision?

(b) What is the momentum of each at that moment?

(c) What energy and momentum would be measured for one of the Au nuclei by an observer in the rest system of the other Au nucleus?
