Monitoring and Controlling Particle Collisions at Nanometer Scale
應用說明
For the past 50 years, high-energy particle accelerators have been helping researchers investigate big questions about the nature of matter and the origins of the universe. Typical experiments involve carefully controlled collisions between either intersecting particle beams or a particle beam and an atomic-scale target. The results have gradually filled in the Standard Model of physics—and the recent discovery of the Higgs boson is a landmark event in this field of research.
