Particle Accelerators Tutorial

           

Divide into 3 groups. Each group should answer the Foundation Question plus one of the three Group questions. Each group should prepare to present to the other groups what they have learned. 

Foundation Question for all 3 groups:  What is a particle accelerator?

Group questions (one per group):

  1. What are 3-5 major milestones in the development of particle acclerators? Describe them.
  2. How are particles accelerated and how are they steered?
  3. Describe 2-4 modern particle accelerator facilities. Include the LHC. Describe them. How do they compare?

Each group reports when finished.
