Particle Accelerator Summary
851 words, approx. 3 pages
By the late 1890s, it had become obvious to scientists that John Dalton's (1766-1844) concept of a solid, indivisible atom was incorrect. In 1897 Joseph J. Thomson (1856-1940) showed that even smaller particles--electrons--could be removed from an...

Particle Accelerators Summary
566 words, approx. 2 pages
Particle accelerators, as the name suggests, accelerate particles to ultra-high velocities in order to study high-energy collision processes. Because all energy in the collision can be converted to mass energy of other particles, new and exotic...

Particle Accelerators And Matters Of Faith
01/25/1993: 856 words, approx. 3 pages
It is a common conceit among high-energy particle physicists to compare their giant accelerating machines to the Gothic cathedrals of the Middle Ages. Robert Wilson, former director of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) draws these analogies: Cathedrals were intended to reach new...

A novel scheme for increasing the number of collisions in particle accelerators has boosted the performance of the world's highest-energy collider and promises to rev up others. This scheme, called high-energy electron cooling, helped the Tevatron collider at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab)...
