Abstract
At the Brookhaven National Laboratory, experimental efforts with heavy-ion accelerators started at the AGS synchrotron in 1984 and then at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) in 1991. This chapter of a future book describes how several scientific collaborations were established and how features of the quark-gluon plasma were revealed from the four RHIC experiments during the first five years of RHIC operation.
