Geometry of a Collider Detector
The detector for a collider should be able to wrap around and enclose the collision point as much as possible. So, here is what we need to know: The shape of the detector is roughly cylindrical…
Using Kaufmann and Bucherer's Data to Relate E, p & m
In 1901, W. Kaufmann did an experiment to investigate the relationship between velocity and mass for electrons in the 0.7MeV to 1.6 MeV energy range (W. Kaufmann, Gottingen Nach. 2, 143;…
Energy, Momentum, and Mass
Almost everyone is familar with Einstein's famous equation E=mc2. It indicates the energy content of a particle of mass m at rest. This is a special case. More generally, particle energy depends on…
