«By bombarding the material with
protons at low energy, we simultaneously increased the material's current - carrying capacity and critical temperature — the first time that this has been possible in an iron - based superconductor,» said physicist Qiang Li, head of the Advanced Energy Materials Group at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, who directed the research.

At lower energies, however, cosmic rays contain a larger variety of particles like
protons, electrons, and their antimatter counterparts: antiprotons and positrons, and it's these matter - antimatter pairs that AMS scientists study.
Since the experiment fires
protons at boron plasma, it effectively mimics cosmic rays crashing into plasmas in space, which may aid studies of high -
energy particle behaviour, says Mac
Low.
At Fermilab, [physicist Leon M. Lederman's] Tevatron had been colliding protons and antiprotons since 1985, though at energy levels too low to prove the existence of the Higgs particl

At lower energies, particles «see» the entire
proton as one entity.
In
low energy RHIC collisions, scientists suspect that while the change in phase from QGP to ordinary
protons / neutrons occurs, both distinct states (QGP and ordinary nuclear matter) coexist — just like bubbles of steam and liquid water coexist
at the same temperature in a pot of boiling water.
The flux density of
low energy protons at the top of the atmosphere is normally greater
at the poles than
at the equator.
