A particle physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland that is supported by 20 member states. It is the site of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is currently under construction. Over the last ...
The Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring (CESR)
Physics; Particle physics
A machine, located at Cornell University, funded by the National Science Foundation, that collides a beam of electrons and a beam of positrons of equal energy. The total Energy is adjustable from 9 ...
Cherenkov detector
Physics; Particle physics
Light travels more slowly in materials, such as water, than it does in a vacuum. No particle can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. Particles that travel faster than the speed of ...
Compact Linear Collider (CLIC)
Physics; Particle physics
A proposed linear collider under study by an international group based at CERN. The proposal is for a collider that could reach energies of 5 TeV.
The High Resolution Fly'sEye (HiRes)
Physics; Particle physics
A cosmic ray detector based in Utah. This detector is especially sensitive to the highest energy cosmic rays.
