The Particles Strike Back

LHCf

The Large Hadron Collider ( LHCf ) experiment uses particles thrown forward by collisions in the Large Hadron Collider as a source to simulate cosmic rays in laboratory conditions.  Cosmic rays are naturally occurring charged particles from outer space that constantly bombard the Earths atmosphere. They collide with nuclei in the upper atmosphere,  triggering a cascade of particles thatreaches ground level. Studying how collisions inside the LHC cause similar cascades of particles will help physicists to interpret and callibrate large-scale cosmic-ray experiments that can cover thousands of kilometres.

LHCf is made up of two detectors which sit along the LHC beamline, at 140 metres either side of the ATLAS collision point. The location allows the observation of particles at nearly zero degrees to the proton beam direction. Each of the two detectors weighs only 40 kilograms and measures 30cm long by 80cm high and 10cm wide. The LHCf experiment involves 30 scientists from 9 institutes in 5 countries.

LHCb

The LHCb experiment will shed light on why we live in a universe that appears to be composed almost entirely of matter, but not anti matter.

The Large Hadron Beaty ( LHCb ) experiment specializes in investigating the slight differences between matter and antimatter by studying a type of particle called the "beaty quark", or "b quark"

Instead of surrounding the entire collision point with an enclosed detector as do ATLES and CMS, the LHCb experiment uses a series of subdetectors to detect mainly forward particles - those thrown forwards by the collision in one direction. The first subdetector is mounted close to the collision point,  with the others following one behind the other over a length of 20 metres.

An abundance of different types of quark are created by the LHC before they decay quickly into other forms. To catch the b quarks, LHCb has developed sophisticated movable tracking detectors close to the path of the beams circling in the LHC.

The 5600-tonne LHCb detector is made up of a forward spectrometer and planar detectors. It is 21 metres long, 10 metres high and 13 metres wide, and sits 100 metres below ground near village of Ferney-Voltaire, France. About 700 scientists from 52 different institutes and universities make the LHCb collaboration.

Introduction

I will be bringing you lots of Astrophysics articles. I love physics and astronomy and have done for a very long time. Seeing the World through a differant perspective. The way nature works and how we got to were we are.

They are the main reasons for physics to get more understanding. I hope i can teach you something new. There really is a lot of information. MORE TO COME

LHC

A Great Introduction To The LHC - ( Large Hadron Collider )

There is so much more to come to this blog about the LHC and Astro-Physic's.

LHC - Smashing Atom's And Providing And Explaining The Result's

With this blog i will try to make Physic's easy to understand and fun. 

In all my life i have had an obsession with physics and life in general. Physics offers the best answers a lot of my ponderings. Hope you enjoy my content and i would really like to know what my readers think about anything in this blog.
