The PHENIX (Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction Experiment) detector is a sophisticated experimental apparatus located at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York. The primary goal of the PHENIX experiment is to study the properties of quark-gluon plasma, a state of matter believed to have existed shortly after the Big Bang, where quarks and gluons are no longer confined within protons and neutrons.
