| Popis: | Commissioning any large research facility such as a collider will have its troubles and pitfalls no matter how thoughtful and sophisticated the design. Only once childhood diseases are surmounted, routine operation begins. At first the focus will be on reaching the design goals. This will be followed by pushing the boundaries and reaching beyond the design capabilities. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) 15 years after its first physics run in 2000, has certainly reached this phase. The demands and expectations of the scientific user community are ever growing with each run, with the requests as diverse as the user community itself. One popular demand is the call for more and more collisions and another one the request for uneven species such as operating the accelerator with protons in one ring while circulating gold ions in the other. But what can actually be done to meet those expectations once the obvious solutions and ideas are exhausted? |
