At Fermilab, a superconducting magnet guides
protons to head - on
collisions with antiprotons in the Tevatron particle smasher.
Search for magnetic monopoles
with the MoEDAL forward trapping detector in 2.11 fb − 1 of 13 TeV
proton -
proton collisions at the LHC.
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.
The
collisions spit out either three or four neutrons, creating two different isotopes of an element
with 117
protons.
This energy is divided among the quarks and gluons that make up the
protons, so the
collision can generate new particles
with the equivalent of about 1 TeV of mass.
By creating an artificial solar wind and firing it at a centimeter - scale magnetic field, they demonstrated that a thin electric - field layer created by the
collision of the solar wind
with the magnetic field is up to the job of deflecting high - speed
protons.
After the initial nine - week part of the run, RHIC physicists will begin a series of experiments they've never done before —
collisions of polarized
protons in one beam
with a beam of heavier ions (first gold, for about five weeks, then a shorter two - week run
with aluminum).
The new measurements, which also included results from
collisions of
protons with intermediate - sized aluminum ions, showed the effect was real and that it changed
with the size of the nucleus.
«
With deuteron and helium results already in hand, data from
proton - heavy ion
collisions in Run 15 will complete the set of these initial tests.»
«In the
collisions of
protons with protons, the effect of electric charge is negligibly small,» Nakagawa said.
«A crucial test to see whether this is the case would be to engineer the formation of one, two, or three droplets via
collisions of
protons, deuterons, or helium - 3 projectiles
with larger nuclei,» said University of Colorado physicist Jamie Nagle, a co-spokesperson for the PHENIX collaboration at RHIC.
RHIC's polarized
proton collisions are offering insight into how the spins of the internal building blocks of a
proton — the quarks and antiquarks (balls
with arrows) and gluons (yellow «springs»)-- contribute to the overall
proton spin, as well as whether and how much the orbital and transverse «bouncing» motions of these individual particles also contribute to spin.
These particles give the most direct insight into the conditions created within the
collision zone, including the orbital motion of quarks (in
proton -
proton collisions) and the role of gluon fields (in
collisions of
protons with larger nuclei).
In addition, because these new findings align
with the theory scientists have been using to describe the inner structure of the
proton, they also support their plan to use future
collisions of electrons
with polarized
protons at a proposed electron ion collider (EIC) to conduct detailed studies of the internal structure of the
proton.
Researchers on the Tevatron see an excess of events produced in the machine's
proton - antiproton
collisions that could be caused by a Higgs
with a mass between 117 and 131 GeV.
Large single - spin asymmetries in very forward neutron production have been previously observed in transversely polarized $ p $ $ + $ $ p $
collisions at RHIC, and the existing... ▽ More During 2015 the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provided
collisions of transversely polarized
protons with Au and Al nuclei for the first time, enabling the exploration of transverse - single - spin asymmetries
with heavy nuclei.
