And if physicists set up the experiment with a
photon detector at each slit, that is indeed what they see:
Photons hurtle randomly through either the first slit or the second, which results in two separate clumps of dots forming
on the film.
If physicists remove the
photon detectors, the pattern created
on the film changes completely.
The quality of images obtained by MPI are dependent
on a variety of factors, the most significant ones being image noise,
photon attenuation, Compton scattering, collimator -
detector response (CDR), and patient movement.
Many scientific instruments rely
on the ability to detect
photons one at a time, from the huge tanks of water built deep underground to detect neutrinos from the Sun to the fluorescence
detectors used in biological research.
If you compare a lot of high - energy
photons with a lot of relatively low - energy ones, you should find that
on average, after a billion - year race, the high - energy ones reach GLAST's
detector sooner — by about a millisecond.
Single -
photon detectors are notoriously temperamental: Of 100 deposited
on a chip using standard manufacturing techniques, only a handful will generally work.
A team of researchers has built an array of light
detectors sensitive enough to register the arrival of individual light particles, or
photons, and mounted them
on a silicon optical chip.
The outcome of the experiment depends
on what the physicists try to measure: If they set up
detectors beside the slits, the
photons act like ordinary particles, always traversing one route or the other, not both at the same time.
The lab's blast walls were up; sheets of Kevlar hung to catch shrapnel; banks of capacitors
on the co-opted Air Force experiment primed to unleash 12 million amps of current; X-ray
detectors set to snag bursts of
photons; bottles of celebratory champagne chilled.
That saps some energy from the
photon, which then moves
on with less energy to a
detector.
On December 15, the LHC's two largest particle
detectors, called ATLAS and CMS, both reported an unexpected excess of pairs of
photons with a combined energy of 750 gigaelectronvolts (GeV).
A
detector fitted
on an airplane picked up a signature spike in
photons that does not fit any known source of antiparticles
The less energetic
photon would then move
on to a
detector, and each diamond would be left either vibrating or not vibrating.
A dark atom could use dark
photons to do the same when it hits a dark matter
detector, depending
on the chemical composition of the
detector.
«
Detectors mounted
on the crate monitored the
photons» entanglement during the experiments.
In the NIST experiment, the
photon source and the two
detectors were located in three different, widely separated rooms
on the same floor in a large laboratory building.
In the UV and X-ray range from 20 eV up to 20 keV the direct detection of the
photons is usually donc
on back - illuminated fully depleted, thus fully sensitive silicon
