  2. Bothe–Geiger coincidence experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bothe–Geiger_coincidence...

    The two counters consist of an electron counter and a photon counter that are placed in opposite sides from the beam. Due to the minimal energy of the recoil electron, the electron detection essentially occurs at their scattering site. Thus the scattering volume must be situated within the electron counter. [2]

  3. LOPES (telescope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOPES_(telescope)

    LOPES (telescope) Coordinates: 49°05′57.8″N 8°26′14.7″E. The LOPES project (LOFAR PrototypE Station) was a cosmic ray detector array, located in Karlsruhe, Germany, and is operated in coincidence with an existing, well calibrated air shower experiment called KASCADE. In 2013, after approximately 10 years of measurements, LOPES was ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Air_Shower_Array

    The Chicago Air Shower Array ( CASA) was a significant ultra high high-energy astrophysics experiment operating in the 1990s. It consisted of a very large array of scintillation detectors located at Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah, USA, approximately 80 kilometers southwest of Salt Lake City. The full CASA detector, consisting of 1089 detectors ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler's_delayed-choice...

    e. Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment describes a family of thought experiments in quantum physics proposed by John Archibald Wheeler, with the most prominent among them appearing in 1978 and 1984. [ 1 ] These experiments are attempts to decide whether light somehow "senses" the experimental apparatus in the double-slit experiment it travels ...

  6. Coincidence method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coincidence_method

    Coincidence method. In particle physics, the coincidence method (or coincidence technique) is an experimental design through which particle detectors register two or more simultaneous measurements of a particular event through different interaction channels. Detection can be made by sensing the primary particle and/or through the detection of ...

  7. BOOMERanG experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOOMERanG_experiment

    t. e. BOOMERanG experiment (Balloon Observations Of Millimetric Extragalactic Radiation And Geophysics) was an experiment that flew a telescope on a (high-altitude) balloon and measured the cosmic microwave background radiation of a part of the sky during three sub-orbital flights. It was the first experiment to make large, high-fidelity images ...

  8. Tests of general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity

    Albert Einstein proposed [3][4] three tests of general relativity, subsequently called the "classical tests" of general relativity, in 1916: the perihelion precession of Mercury 's orbit. the deflection of light by the Sun. the gravitational redshift of light. In the letter to The Times (of London) on November 28, 1919, he described the theory ...
