Will a muon accelerator save particle physics?

  • 4 תגובות
In recent years, physicists from around the world have been discussing the construction of a muon accelerator instead of other conventional accelerators based on protons or electrons. Such an accelerator has clear advantages in discovering new physics, but its construction is accompanied by technological challenges

In the third run, the particles will be bombarded with an energy intensity of 13.6 TeV, which may help to better understand the properties of the Higgs boson and its interaction with matter, and perhaps also reveal clues about the matter
A visual illustration of one of the collisions observed in the Atlas detector, and is an example of the type of processes we are looking for, and the signature they leave in our detectors. In this case a Higgs boson is created, together with another massive boson called Z (the carrier of the weak force). The blue cones and the yellow rectangles adjacent to them represent the pair of quarks into which the Higgs decayed, in this case they are of the magic type. The Z decays into two particles called muons, which can be identified by the red lines in the image. From the CERN website

For the first time, the Higgs boson was characterized by its decay into a pair of "magic" quarks

  • One response
Researchers from Tel Aviv University were able to describe for the first time a rare physical process that begins with the Higgs boson - the "divine particle" that was first observed about a decade ago - and eventually decays into a pair of rare elementary particles * Observations
