Summary

First Gold Beam-Beam Collision Events at RHIC at 100 - 100 GeV/c per beam recorded by the STAR detector. Original caption: "one of the first full-energy collisions between gold ions at Brookhaven Lab's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, as captured by the Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC (STAR) detector. The tracks indicate the paths taken by thousands of subatomic particles produced in the collisions as they pass through the STAR Time Projection Chamber, a large, 3-D digitial camera."

Textual information once visible in the image itself has been moved into the image metadata and/or image description page. This makes the image easier to reuse and more language-neutral, and makes the text easier to process and search for. Commons discourages placing visible textual information in images. All licenses accepted on Commons permit this type of modification as a derivative work.

If attribution information was removed and the image is not public domain, replace this tag with {{ attribution metadata from licensed image}}.
