A community portal about Particle accelerators with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: A particle accelerator is a device that uses electric fields to propel electrically charged particles to high speeds and magnetic fields to contain them. An ordinary CRT televison set is a simple form of accelerator. There are two basic types: linear accelerators and circular accelerators.
Particle Accelerators
Physicists have long theorized that particle accelerators could destroy the earth. When electric fields are used to accelerate protons they could collide at speed fast enough to create black holes or bits of altered matter. These small black holes would slowly engulf our planet. The pieces of altered matter, called strangeletes, would destroy any ordinary matter they came in contact with, eventually annihilating the entire planet. Although most scientists assure that...

A prototype liquid-argon detector called ArgoNeuT will pave the way for the MicroBooNE facility at Fermilab By Mark Alpert Neutrino Hunters Bonnie Fleming and Mitchell Soderberg inspect a prototype liquid-argon detector called ArgoNeuT that will pave the way for the MicroBooNE facility at Fermilab. Fermilab The detection of extra dimensions beyond the familiar four—the three dimensions of space and one of time—would be among the most earth-shattering discoveries in the history of...

Scientists have developed a high-tech way to date and value vintage wines ... using a particle accelerator. The researchers in France (where else would it be?) say the new method uses ion beam analysis to authenticate the age and origin of the glass used in the wine bottle. Unfortunately for staff at the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) the technique also means the wine does not need to be opened. Particle accelerators take a particle, such as an electron, speed it up to near... Read Full Story
Computers revolutionized industrial design. Almost everything — from matches to electric power stations — has been designed, interpreted to please the eye and implemented on a computer and in real life. However, one field was left completely unattended!
This is the field of heavy ion accelerators — enourmous devices, up to five stories high and priced at £100–200 million each. Their appearance is extremely functional and reflects the interaction of accelerator’s components. With... Read Full Story
