COURSE INTRODUCTION & OUTLINE:

Physicists in the early 1930’s wanted to understand the structure of the atomic nucleus, and the strong force that binds it together. Naturally occurring radioactive decays give particles of energies of a few MeV; need to produce particles of higher energy.

Our Webinar will explore The Particle Collider / Accelerator which is a device to produce beams of charged particles and accelerate them to high velocity or energy (much greater than that for electrons or nuclei in atoms) with:

Nearly Constant Velocity or Energy
 

Parallel Trajectories
 

Small Beam Cross Section
