Sentences with phrase «electron volt accelerator»

Not exact matches

After all, particle accelerator searches over the last two decades had narrowed the range of possible masses for the Higgs; if it existed at all, it had to weigh in at between 114 billion and 143 billion electron volts or GeV (1 GeV is slightly more than the mass of a hydrogen atom).

For a monopole with twice the minimum charge, Rajantie and Gould determined that magnetic monopoles must be more massive than about 10 billion electron volts, going by data from collisions of lead nuclei in the Super Proton Synchrotron, a smaller accelerator at CERN.

Where a traditional accelerator can take kilometers to drive an electron to 50 giga - electron volts (GeV), Leemans and team showed that a mini-laser plasma accelerator could get electrons to 1 GeV in just three centimeters with a laser pulse of about 40 terawatt.

Researchers at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois have squeezed out the last drop of analysis on their own data — and concluded that the Higgs, if it exists, should have a mass between 115 and 135 billion electron volts.

Physicists are already attempting to build tabletop - size laser - driven accelerators that, in principle, could attain billions of electron volts.

Compact accelerators can already produce tremendously energetic particles (4.25 billion electron volts) over just about 3.5 inches.

That would put his tabletop device nearly on a level with the Stanford Linear Accelerator, which pushes particles to 50 billion electron volts in a 2 - mile - long tunnel.

The world's most powerful accelerator, it smashes protons and antiprotons together at 1.8 trillion electron volts.

While observing a beam of muon neutrinos generated by one of Fermilab's particle accelerators, the MiniBooNE researchers found that an unexpectedly high number of the particles in the low - energy range (below 475 million electron volts) had transformed into electron neutrinos.
