  2. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terahertz_time-domain...

    In physics, terahertz time-domain spectroscopy ( THz-TDS) is a spectroscopic technique in which the properties of matter are probed with short pulses of terahertz radiation. The generation and detection scheme is sensitive to the sample's effect on both the amplitude and the phase of the terahertz radiation. Fourier transform of the above pulse.

  3. List of accelerators in particle physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accelerators_in...

    Fermitron was an accelerator sketched by Enrico Fermi on a notepad in the 1940s proposing an accelerator in stable orbit around the Earth. The undulator radiation collider is a design for an accelerator with a center-of-mass energy around the GUT scale. It would be light-weeks across and require the construction of a Dyson swarm around the Sun.

  4. Alternating Gradient Synchrotron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_Gradient...

    The Alternating Gradient Synchrotron ( AGS) is a particle accelerator located at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Long Island, New York, United States. The Alternating Gradient Synchrotron was built on the innovative concept of the alternating gradient, or strong-focusing principle, developed by Brookhaven physicists.

  5. Accelerator physics codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerator_Physics_Codes

    Accelerator physics codes. A charged particle accelerator is a complex machine that takes elementary charged particles and accelerates them to very high energies. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Particle_accelerators

    Particle accelerators. In physics, particle accelerators are devices for generating streams of sub-atomic particles at very high energies. The field concerned with designing and building particle accelerators is called accelerator physics . Small particle accelerators are used in a variety of industrial applications, including radiation therapy.

  7. Superconducting Super Collider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_Super_Collider

    The Superconducting Super Collider ( SSC) (also nicknamed the "Desertron" [2]) was a particle accelerator complex under construction in the vicinity of Waxahachie, Texas, United States. Its planned ring circumference was 87.1 kilometers (54.1 mi) with an energy of 20 TeV per proton and was designed to be the world's largest and most energetic ...

    The Tevatron (background circle), a synchrotron collider type particle accelerator at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), Batavia, Illinois, USA. Shut down in 2011, until 2007 it was the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, accelerating protons to an energy of over 1 TeV (tera electron volts). Beams of protons and ...
