Longitudinal Evolution in Heavy Ion Collisions

Declan Keane (Kent State University)

This talk begins with a review of two projects within the STAR collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider -- the addition of transverse segmentation to the Zero-Degree Calorimeters and on-going preparations for a Beam-Energy Scan at RHIC. Then, the remaining time will be devoted to observations on a little-noticed trend, quite unrelated to the progress of physics and technology, in how research has been conducted in the field of relativistic heavy-ion collisions over the past couple of decades.
