Particle accelerators seem to be getting bigger, more powerful and more expensive in the quest for knowledge that helps us understand the Universe. This panel discussion brings together top researchers from around the world to discuss the challenges in designing today's accelerators for use in answering tomorrow's research questions. Representatives of four possible future projects discuss how and why these machines are being considered, where the major challenges lie and present their long-term vision for the future.
Suzie Sheehy is particle physicist with a knack for science presenting. She currently holds a joint appointment with STFC and ASTeC to work at Oxford University on high power hadron accelerators. After presenting a Discourse and a series of videos on accelerators at the Ri, she is returning with physicist friends and colleagues to discuss the future of particle accelerators.
Prof. Kenneth Long is a Professor of Particle Physics at Imperial College, London and spokesperson for the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
Prof. Phillip Burrows is a Professor of Accelerator Physics, University of Oxford, Associate Director of John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science and spokesperson of the international Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) collaboration.
Dr. Stuart Mangles is a Senior Lecturer and University Research Fellow, Imperial College London and an expert in laser wakefield acceleration.
Dr. Frank Zimmerman is a Senior Scientist at CERN and Deputy Study Leader for the global Future Circular Collider (FCC) Study.

Person 1: We will make the smash using a big straight line for it is good. Person 2: We will make the smash with a bigger circle because it is best. Person 3: We need to make the smash with the other stuff because it's important. Person 4: We need a new need way to make the smash because efficiency.

@jessstuart7495 7 жыл бұрын

You should compare the circumference (not the diameter) of a circular collider to the length of a linear collider. You would hope a physicist would realize this.

@Baerchenization 3 жыл бұрын

No you wouldn't. The length of a circular collider is "irrelevant", since the particles are going around in circles "forever" and as such, the particles can travel infinitely until they hit something. A linear collider has a fixed acceleration path, at the end of which something gets smashed. So the comparison merely gives you a feeling for how big either of them would be 'in the landscape'.

A new accelerator in an earthquake zone? Like putting an oil refinery tank farm next to an active volcano. This makes no sense. Could someone please explain the logic in putting the ILC in Japan.

@samvimes5124 7 жыл бұрын

Japan is an earthquake zone, that also has a number of active volcanoes. It's also full of oil refineries, nuclear power stations, microchip factories, etc, etc.... Didn't you know this? And finally,....do you REALLY think that you...some random in the KZfaq comments...have spotted the one fatal flaw in a plan developed by the top accelerator designers in the world? Do you REALLY think that they would pick a location without assessing it's viability first? Wake up, mate.

@JimBob1937 6 жыл бұрын

As an engineer they would survey the area of the planned development, identify any particular issues, and work those into the end design. It's not like they're like, 'oh crap, they get earthquakes here.' Either you isolate the structure, allow the structure to bend naturally without breaking (a balance of flexibility and stiffness, depends on the task). It's also an issue of funding, if the only people funding your project are in a potential earthquake zone, well, guess where your project is going to be built ;-) Considering Japans continual earthquakes that have been going on for hundreds upon hundreds of years, since they've been recording them, they've gotten pretty good at implementing earthquake resistance into their civil engineering.

Lets keep ramping up the cost and power requirements, Doesn't matter, i'm sure it'l all be fine.Then again i suppose it does.

@insainsin 7 жыл бұрын

It really "Matters". In bother general relativity and in quantum mechanics the faster things move the smaller the size they get. The smaller a particle the more small particles can be found. Also more energy equals more high energy particles are created. So theoretically you would keep on increasing the energy until it reaches one of the plank limits. The smallest length, the highest energy or speed, etc. Some of these things aren't really possible so never enough.

Objects increase in mass as they travel faster, and no-one has considered that rapidly rotating particles inside an incredible magnetic field directly above a liquid iron ocean and core i believe could be catastrophic, wouldn't a molten iron vortex be created below switzerland, rather like a tornado does,we better be certain of the outcome of any experiments of this scale, thats the trouble with the unknown.

hi my name is Adam Rainer I'm starting a company called Universal mathematics working in the development of nanites Nanobots also my question have you ever thought you would think that the Higgs boson wood may be somewhat serious God Particle is what it's called to be developed and used in space as when it collides that is where it has its ever ability to grow within its size of particle when it was created with any of the structural blue lights Iceman any measures electrical frequency matter-antimatter will take place to develop or create a new planet it also is understood that sing in the fourth dimension if you look at what space itself looks like it looks like the human brain energy electrons quotes working functional would it also be more I don't believe that though it's only stated as a theory but let's make it a statement of a theory that any fool could see simple math positive or negative creative balance you must have as much antimatter as you do matter also with a resonant frequency that allows the opening of wormholes that with the electrical frequency reach and stable which we can utilize through perpetual motion device you know what it looks like 17 magnitude on your looks like the hydron collider okay so when we have that frequency established for developing a wormhole capability with using matter and antimatter that would allow us to go to the point at which the next frequency has been measured or pain stabilizing it and in order for us to get back we must use the same positive or negative Elemental frequencies matter and antimatter to keep the Wormhole open through traveling Through the Wormhole light speed and Beyond and through Adam Rainer University mathematics CC
