Collider physics

 



                                     Team simulates collider physics on quantum computer


Collider physics is an exciting and important branch of high-energy physics that involves the study of particle collisions at extremely high energies. The goal of collider experiments is to explore the fundamental properties of matter and energy at the smallest scales by smashing particles together and studying the resulting debris. By doing so, physicists can test theories about the nature of the universe and learn more about the behavior of particles and forces. One of the most famous collider experiments is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland, which is the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world. The LHC accelerates protons to nearly the speed of light and then smashes them together in order to study the resulting particle showers. These collisions can produce a variety of new particles, including the elusive Higgs boson, which was discovered at the LHC in 2012. Other collider experiments include the Tevatron at Fermilab in the United States and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. These experiments use different types of particles and collision energies to explore different aspects of the universe, such as the behavior of quarks and gluons in the early universe. Collider physics is an important field of study because it allows us to test and refine our understanding of the universe. The Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the behavior of particles and forces, has been extremely successful in predicting the results of collider experiments. However, there are still many unanswered questions, such as the nature of dark matter and dark energy, that require further investigation. Overall, collider physics is an exciting and rapidly evolving field that is pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the universe. With new and more powerful colliders being developed, such as the proposed Future Circular Collider at CERN, the future of collider physics looks bright and full of discovery.

Physicists observe a new form of magnetism for the first time

MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry " spintronic " memory chips. The new magnetic state is a mash-up of two main forms of magnetism: the ferromagnetism of everyday fridge magnets and compass needles, and antiferromagnetism, in which materials have magnetic properties at the microscale yet are not macroscopically magnetized. Now, the MIT team has demonstrated a new form of magnetism , termed "p-wave magnetism." Physicists have long observed that electrons of atoms in regular ferromagnets share the same orientation of "spin," like so many tiny compasses pointing in the same direction. This spin alignment generates a magnetic field, which gives a ferromagnet its inherent magnetism. Electrons belonging to magnetic atoms in an antiferromagnet also have spin, although these spins alternate, with electrons orbiting neighboring atoms aligning their spins antiparalle...

Physicists Catch Light in 'Imaginary Time' in Scientific First

For the first time, researchers have seen how light behaves during a mysterious phenomenon called 'imaginary time '. When you shine light through almost any transparent material, the gridlock of electromagnetic fields that make up the atomic alleys and side streets will add a significant amount of time to each photon's commute. This delay can tell physicists a lot about how light scatters, revealing details about the matrix of material the photons must navigate. Yet until now, one trick up the theorist's sleeve for measuring light's journey invoking imaginary time has not been fully understood in practical terms. An experiment conducted by University of Maryland physicists Isabella Giovannelli and Steven Anlage has now revealed precisely what pulses of microwave radiation (a type of light that exists outside the visible spectrum) do while experiencing imaginary time inside a roundabout of cables. Their work also demonstrates how imaginary numbers can describe a ver...

Green comet to pass Earth, won't be back for another 50,000 years

   visit:  https://hep-conferences.sciencefather.com/ After travelling from the icy reaches of our Solar System it will come closest to the Sun on January 12 and pass nearest to Earth on February 1.   A newly discovered comet could be visible to the naked eye as it shoots past Earth and the Sun in the coming weeks for the first time in 50,000 years, astronomers have said. The comet is called C/2022 E3 (ZTF) after the Zwicky Transient Facility, which first spotted it passing Jupiter in March last year. After travelling from the icy reaches of our Solar System it will come closest to the Sun on January 12 and pass nearest to Earth on February 1. It will be easy to spot with a good pair of binoculars and likely even with the naked eye, provided the sky is not too illuminated by city lights or the Moon. The comet "will be brightest when it is closest to the Earth", Thomas Prince, a physics professor at the California Institute of Technology who works at the Zwicky Transi...
