Ron Belmont is an internationally recognized expert in the physics of ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions. By colliding heavy nuclei at relativistic speeds, we create a new phase of matter called the quark-gluon plasma, which is believed to have existed in the very early universe, roughly a few microseconds after the big bang. Ron is a member of the PHENIX Collaboration, where he is a physics working group convener and a member of the executive council and institutional board. Ron is also a member of the sPHENIX Collaboration, where he is an institutional board member and one of the experts on the hadronic calorimeter subsystem.
