Two days to the #TopQuark30 anniversary! ?? The hunt for the #TopQuark required the construction of two large sophisticated particle detectors. One of those detectors was CDF. Physicists used the detector to study the array of particles and forces within the atom by recording data about collisions of protons and anti-protons in the machine. The 4,500-ton detector sat more than four stories tall and was composed of more than 1 million individual detector elements! ?? Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g437YwnH

Fermilab is America's particle physics and accelerator laboratory.
关于我们
Fermilab is America's premier particle physics and accelerator laboratory. Collaborating with scientists from around the world, we perform pioneering research, operate world-leading particle accelerators and experiments, and develop technologies for science in support of U.S. industry. Fermilab works on the world's most advanced particle accelerators and digs down to the smallest building blocks of matter. We also probe the farthest reaches of the universe, seeking out the nature of dark matter and dark energy. Fermilab's 1,750 employees include scientists and engineers from all around the world, and we collaborate with more than 20 countries on physics experiments based in the U.S. and elsewhere. Located in Batavia, Illinois, Fermilab is managed by Fermi Forward Discovery Group for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. Nestled on 6,800 acres in the beautiful Fox Valley, Fermilab’s campus setting offers an informal and stimulating environment with a long history and promising future committed to education, the environment and, of course, world-leading research in particle physics. Join the excitement that comes from discovering the mysteries of the universe! For information on joining the Fermilab team please visit - https://wdrs.fnal.gov/employ/index.html

#DidYouKnow March 2 is the #TopQuark30 anniversary? ?? Before the hunt for the #TopQuark could begin, Fermilab had to build the Tevatron. The Tevatron accelerated beams of protons and antiprotons to 99.999954% the speed of light. The two beams collided at the centers of two detectors positioned around the beam pipe at different locations. The collisions reproduced conditions in the early universe and probed the structure of matter at a very small scale. ?? Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gA4-hPJq

In particle physics, flavor has nothing to do with your taste buds. Instead, the term signifies different kinds of particles. There are six “flavors,” or varieties, of quark: up, down, top, bottom, strange and charm. There are also six flavors of leptons: the electron, muon and tau, and their corresponding neutrinos (the electron, muon and tau neutrinos).

#DidYouKnow that neutrinos only interact through gravity and the weak force? This weak force is important only at very short distances, which means tiny neutrinos can skirt through the atoms of massive objects without interacting. Most neutrinos will pass through Earth without interacting at all. To increase the odds of seeing them, scientists build huge detectors and create intense sources of neutrinos. ??: CERN

#ICYMI: Neutrinos are notoriously aloof, but it’s not entirely their fault. https://lnkd.in/gzm8i59m #neutrino #physics
Why do neutrinos rarely interact?

Neutrinos are some of the most abundant particles in the universe, but they're notoriously aloof. So why is such an omnipresent particle so antisocial? #neutrino https://lnkd.in/gzm8i59m
