Gold-gold luminosity increase in RHIC for a beam energy scan with colliding beam energies extending below the nominal injection energy

The Beam Energy Scan phase II (BES-II), performed in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) from 2019 to 2021, explored the phase transition between quark-gluon plasma and hadronic gas. BES-II exceeded the goal of a fourfold increase in the average luminosity over that achieved during Beam Energ...
