Particle accelerators: What are they, how do they work and why are they important to us?

A particle accelerator is a machine that accelerates particles. More specifically, it accelerates elementary particles, like protons and electrons, at extremely high speeds-almost 99.99% of the speed of light. These particles are then smashed against a stationary target or against other particles traveling in the opposite direction. These collisions produce massive particles, such as the top quark or the Higgs boson, which last for only a fraction of a second. Then, almost immediately, these particles convert into smaller, lighter particles, which, in turn, decay almost instantly. These collisions not only help us understand the composition of the elementary particles in question but also supplement our knowledge of our universe’s origin immediately following the Big Bang.
Particle accelerators can be broadly classified into two categories-linear accelerators (also called LINACs) and circular accelerators. In this video, we discuss linear and circular accelerators and their respective applications.

@visheshjain3538 2 года назад

Can you please tell me what do you exactly mean when you say that the lighter particles from Higgs boson decay,do they just vanish?And if they do won’t they break the law of conservation of mass

@Scienceabc 2 года назад

That's a good question. However, you are looking at it from a classical perspective; there is conservation of energy, not mass. A particle that is as shortly lived as the Higgs Boson doesn't have a well-defined mass but a mass distribution. Think how electrons don't revolve around a nucleus in a well defined path, but rather exist in electron clouds. Similarly, the higgs boson has a mass distribution, and is actually an entangled pair of smaller particles.

we use a particle accelerators in my work in the oil field, i work as wireline logging engineer and we use a particle accelerator to generate neutrons that we can use to figure out how much oil there is in the formation

@the_b1g_0ne 2 года назад

I wanna know where the particles actually come from. Like, is there a particle store where I can get a big bag of particles or do I have to cook them in a lab? How do they get the particles in their elementary form before colliding them with one another, etc, etc, etc.

@sartyxyt1635 Год назад

I've been making a little bit of research to be able to answer your questions ! So first of all, if you want to get an atom or molecule alone, you will need too separate it from his electrons and protons. Theyre is not a store where you can buy everything ( from my latest research). You will need to cook them by yourself or with a crew in a lab. To do that, you will need to excite the particules using microwave radiation. That makes a plasma where electrons and nucleus are not tightly bound. Then, by using hydrogen, whose nucleus is a single proton, the electrons and protons are separated using a simple electric field. So, now that I've answered both of your questions I'll wish you a beautiful night scientist ! PS: Sorry if I did a lot of mistakes. I'm not good in english but I'm wishing to be better everyday !

Man, whenever they talked on TV why we need these things, all I got was broad and vague answers which bordered on "It helps magic science commune with science gods in order to tell us how universe was made." It's good to know there's actually a proper explanation. Theoretical physics is well and good, but it's completely worthless unless we can actually utilize applied physics out of it.

The first accelerator based on the principle of repetitive acceleration was the cyclotron, invented by Ernest Lawrence in 1930 /Nobel Prize 1939/. Since then, many different large accelerators have been built to study matter on ever smaller scales, and many (thousands) of "new" different particles have been discovered. But these thousands of new and different particles did not help to understand the fundamental physical laws that govern matter, energy, space and time. If for more than 100 years of studying quantum particles by breaking them up in accelerators, there is NO answer to the fundamental laws of quantum physics, then it is very possible that ''. . . at least one big idea is missing.” /Book: "The Trouble with Physics".

So I want to throw a concept that I've noticed that nobody else uses if I pick up a level and I pick up a ground survey to measure distance in a 45 I noticed on a level where you got your water bubbles you don't got them art or turned in any direction so the rotation of gravity from under or above is never played or understood in the correct directions like on some levels you got three bubbles three different height or angles but nobody participated all three of them at the correct rotation and calibration together

When you want to see inside a car. You get the tools or reverse engineer. Not smash the car. Smashing it ruins things and not let you see what you want. I know it’s not the point but seems like a dumb idea. What has come from doing this besides waiting money. Legitimately asking
