  • On 13 July 1978, Bugorski was checking a malfunctioning piece of equipment when the safety mechanisms failed. Bugorski was leaning over the equipment when he stuck his head in the path of the 76 GeV proton beam. Reportedly, he saw a flash "brighter than a thousand suns" but did not feel any pain. This is what happened next

    I only spent 48 hours working on a neutron beam in the UK. I was responsible for placing our samples directly in the beam pit on our neutron beam coming off the Rutherford Appleton lab's accelerator.
    There were a ton of safety interlocks culminating in two keys further apart than a single person could turn to free the path to the beam. Gates only opened when a huge concrete block cut off our beam.
    But what puzzles me is that on our neutron beam it was easy to hear and even see as a blue glow coming from the beam if one looked down onto it as it entered and exited our apparatus.
    Not sure what a Proton beam would do differently but I find it hard to understand it wouldn't be audible and visible as it interacted with air.

      @@silverrob6868 This seems to demonstrate that the "light" he saw wasn't actually light. Light - photons - hits the eyes, stimulates rods and cones, sends signals to the optic nerve which sends signals to the brain. Something that is too bright damages the stuff inside the eyes and causes blindness.
      What he saw didn't go through the same process. He 'saw' light, but anyone else who was watching (but wasn't getting blasted) wouldn't see the light, 'cause the light wasn't actually there. No photons ever hit his eyes. The reason he 'saw' something might be because the protons blasting through the optic nerve itself might have caused them to send a false signal through the brain that it interpreted at light, even though no true light has hit his eyes. Or, particles burrowing through the brain caused direct stimulation of the visual parts of said brain - causing another false signal that he perceived as light.
      TLDR; Protons going through nerves and his brain caused it to glitch out. Like when you whack an old TV really hard it'll flash static.

    Excellent video! So interesting (and sad) to hear about his battle for compensation. Where is he now?
    Did want to add a bit of clarification - 70GeV protons don't lose their energy in the way that ~MeV particles do. At thee energies, they will tend to interact with atomic nuclei and smash them apart. They then produce many other subatomic particles (pions, kaons, etc) which go on to induce further reactions. The process is known as deep inelastic scattering. This continues until the average particle energy is of order 1 GeV, at which point the energy per particle is not enough to break nucleons apart - and ionisation losses begin to take over. In this high-energy regime, energy losses tend to be exponential - protons lose a fraction of their energy in each interaction, with a characteristic length known as the "interaction length" between each interaction. It's actually really difficult to find data on this, since nobody in their right mind radiates humans with ~70 GeV protons! (I made some simulations once with 100 GeV protons for geant 3.21 once, can't find the data now though...) Typically however, the proton interaction length in the human body would be of the order of tens of cm, meaning that I expect these protons, and their secondary particles, deposited a significant fraction of their energy in the guy's brain (say, 10%?). While I'm not a medical physicist, I expect the main reason he did not die is that most radiation poisoning occurs when the entire body is irradiated, destroying (for instance!) the ability of the body to replenish the immune system. However, here, 99.9% of his body was fine. It was just a relatively small part that got completely ****ed.
