Experiments with the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) will begin December 1999. RHIC consists of two superconducting rings capable of accelerating and storing Au beams of 100 GeV/nucleon and proton beams of 250 GeV. Four experiments are being prepared for RHIC; STAR, PHENIX, PHOBOS, and BRAHMS. These detector systems are designed to search for signals of the quark gluon plasma in Au-Au collisions. A spin physics program using polarized protons will also be carried out at RHIC. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
