  2. Open Source Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Source_Physics

    Open Source Physics, or OSP, is a project sponsored by the National Science Foundation and Davidson College, whose mission is to spread the use of open source code libraries that take care of a lot of the heavy lifting for physics: drawing and plotting, differential equation solvers, exporting to animated GIFs and movies, etc., tools, and compiled simulations for physics and other numerical ...

  3. Geant4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geant4

    The detector is red and radiation is green. Geant4[1][2][3][4] (for GEometry ANd Tracking) is a platform for "the simulation of the passage of particles through matter " using Monte Carlo methods. It is the successor of the GEANT series of software toolkits developed by The Geant4 Collaboration, and the first to use object oriented programming ...

  4. Tracking (particle physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracking_(particle_physics)

    Tracking (particle physics) In particle physics, tracking is the process of reconstructing the trajectory (or track) of electrically charged particles in a particle detector known as a tracker. The particles entering such a tracker leave a precise record of their passage through the device, by interaction with suitably constructed components ...

  5. ATLAS experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATLAS_experiment

    ATLAS is designed to detect these particles, namely their masses, momentum, energies, lifetime, charges, and nuclear spins. Experiments at earlier colliders, such as the Tevatron and Large Electron–Positron Collider, were also designed for general-purpose detection.

  6. CLEO (particle detector) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLEO_(particle_detector)

    CLEO was a general purpose particle detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), and the name of the collaboration of physicists who operated the detector. The name CLEO is not an acronym; it is short for Cleopatra and was chosen to go with CESR (pronounced Caesar). [1] CESR was a particle accelerator designed to collide electrons and ...

  7. Accelerator physics codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerator_Physics_Codes

    Accelerator physics is a field of physics encompassing all the aspects required to design and operate the equipment and to understand the resulting dynamics of the charged particles. There are software packages associated with each domain. The 1990 edition of the Los Alamos Accelerator Code Group's compendium [1] provides summaries of more than ...

  8. Belle II experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_II_experiment

    Coordinates: 36°9′28″N 140°4′30″E. The opened Belle II detector before installation of the inner tracking detectors. The Belle II experiment is a particle physics experiment designed to study the properties of B mesons (heavy particles containing a bottom quark) and other particles. Belle II is the successor to the Belle experiment ...

  9. PhET Interactive Simulations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhET_Interactive_Simulations

    PhET Interactive Simulations is part of the University of Colorado Boulder which is a member of the Association of American Universities. [10] The team changes over time and has about 16 members consisting of professors, post-doctoral students, researchers, education specialists, software engineers (sometimes contractors), educators, and administrative assistants.
