  • The 6,800-acre Fermilab site is home to a chain of particle accelerators that provide particle beams to numerous experiments and R&D programs. This 2-minute animation explains how the proton source provides the particles that get accelerated and travel through the accelerator complex at close to the speed of light. Scientists use these beams to generate protons, neutrons, muons, pions and neutrinos for various research areas across the Fermilab site. More than 4,000 scientists from over 50 countries use Fermilab and its particle accelerators, detectors and computers for their research. More information is at www.fnal.gov/pu... .

    The music is like: "welcome to parallel reality", and I like it

    Excellent, but why is not shown main loop?

      lol why?

      F sector of Tev Ring still runs.

      Because the US Department of Energy decided not to spend 35 million so it would live to 2014. The LHC was being built anyway so the decision was made before then.

    • @ciberj2
      @ciberj2 6 лет назад +1

      Because it is not necessary to spend a lot of money having the LHC at Switzerland. So the US preferred to support that place as member country

    This is really enlightening stuff.
    The mechanics of Experimental Physics always get overshadowed by the Theoretical bites, whereas they are equally interesting...if not more! :)

    Nicely done. Synchronizing all the loops and turns must be incredibly complex. That would be a very interesting video.

    Awesome! Very detailed regarding each use of the complex. Well done =)

    I would like to know the neutrinos receiving point coordinates at 1000 Km away in North Dakota, if possible. I Found it: It is in South Dakota. DUNE project 1288 Km from Fermilab. Coordinates: 44°21'6" N, 103°21'6" W

    Why is East pointing up on this map? Are we pining for the good old days before magnetic compasses and relying on sunrise to Orient us 😊

      It was best to fit this in the horizontal/landscape orientation of 16:9 video and still give adequate resolution to the animation.

      Yeah, the giant turtles got desoriented.

      Ah, Frank Dantuono, you're so...trollish.

    • @frankdantuono2594
      @frankdantuono2594 6 лет назад

      Actually I noticed the difference immediately because I live walking distance from Fermilab. Not a troll, sorry to come off so... trollish :)

    • @frankdantuono2594
      @frankdantuono2594 6 лет назад +1

      Sorry if this came off as negative, but I noticed the difference in orientation immediately because I live off Winfield Rd and can walk to Fermilab. When local geography changes on you it is quite jarring. BTW: Have any of you been to HoneyMilk, formerly Sweet Potatoes, formerly The Warrenville Pancake House? They've made some major improvements.

    How viable is it to retrofit particle accelerators?

    • @beamjockey
      @beamjockey 6 лет назад

      Old particle accelerators often get changed or upgraded for new purposes. For example, at CERN and Brookhaven the former front-line machines of the 1960s are now injecting particles into newer machines that take the particles to much higher energies. Also, the Large Hadron Collider, LHC, occupies a tunnel where the Large Electron-Positron collider, LEP, formerly operated. One could find many more examples in the history of accelerators.

    Wow.

  • @kindlin
    @kindlin 6 лет назад

    Can all of the experiments be running simultaneously? Or maybe some various subsets of experiments?
    Or maybe each experiment has specific requirements of the particle accelerators it travels through, so each experiment has to be run individually.

    • @mauriceball5573
      @mauriceball5573 6 лет назад

      Excellent quesiton. Yes, the experiments can receive beam simultaneously. There are accelerator operations run coordinators who coordinate when and where the beam goes, and how much beam each experiment receives daily during a given run period.

    • @iiDefied
      @iiDefied 6 лет назад

      Yes, multiple experiments can run simultaneously.

    As far as quantum chromodynamics what does an atom lose in lets say the corrosion of copper!?

    Any Radiation or Off Shoot Sub Atomic Atoms that fly away from the intended route ???

    • @iiDefied
      @iiDefied 6 лет назад

      Trevor Graham Welch No. The beam is controlled by electromagnets.

    • @joeblow4492
      @joeblow4492 6 лет назад

      Yes, the beam dumps. The beam contacts and activates the housing and is later surveyed and labeled for rad dosage. Very safe operation with stringent procedures.

    Can't get it properly,it would be better if first explained diagramatically
