    I was originally going to do this as a journal club video but decided it would be more interesting to put a bunch of papers and resources together and tell a more full story. I'll still be doing the single paper journal clubs, but how do you like this version of the series as an occasional addition? Is this something you want to see more of on the non project weeks? Let me know!
    Edit: I realize I made a mistake with the LHC's size. As people have pointed out it's 27km in circumference, not diameter. Sorry for the confusion.

      since you plan on building a cosmic ray detector, nuclear "real random" generators might be an interresting thing to look into. there were some intriguing experiments during the cold war era. in short, the randomness drifts by fractions of a percent, depending on influeces like placing a plant or a chicken near the decive (it was a basic mobile robot in a box, moving at random and dragging a pencil), or having somebody focus on making the light on a circle of lamps move one way or the other. arrays of such RNGs did pick up all kinds of things, often from unknown sources.

      I like your video, by the way about a couple of decades a go I did all this sort of images in my brain, I mean I imagined these as if I was looking at a movie or a tv show, where I could decide the way something would react, I did all this head breaking ordeal as I was with the idea to create a way to travel in deep space... later came the big fiasco, I took my ideas and related findings to a university... they played lack of interest, so I left... then they went on their own and did all the research... and created the warp drive documents that apparently, made them famous... they didn't mentioned me in any part... they didn't even say thanks... big fiasco those universities... there is some UA-camr who uploaded a video article about the drive, in there, I made comments, that were aimed at those who want to do their own warp drive, I provided parts of my original idea, idea that as mentioned, was used to create the scientific article,..any how, I see that your video mentions stuff that I told those ppl in that other video...

    They also have many downsides you should mention.
    And they can not replace "traditional" accelerators - that is simply impossible.
    Reason? Wakefield accelerators are far less efficient at accelerating heavier particles - the main focus of the LHC.
    They certainly will open up new possibilities, but not as a replacement or alternative, but an addition to current technology.

      The LHC (Large Hadron Collider) Works with protons or lead atoms.
      The function is already here in the name (hadrons, particles held together by the strong interaction).
      Such an accelerator would be impractical if the interior were contaminated with particles, with which the hadrons should not collide.
      In the LHC, two particle beams are accelerated in opposite directions and collided at the detectors.
      Without a vacuum, the particles would not only collide with their counterpart but also with the gases contained in the accelerator.

    I’m interested in that detector project. The simple ones I’ve seen are arrays of stacked Geiger tubes, which you can to some extent use to track the trajectory of the particles. While there isn’t much documentation on it, diy GM tubes or proportional counter tubes tubes couldn’t be too difficult, I wonder how accurately you could identify or filter particles with that kind of know-how? Trying to use a drum of water and cameras could also be pretty cost-effective.

      My 6 year old niece is already coding and can hold a pretty intense conversation on similar subjects. Two weeks ago I brought a little “coil gun” kit I put together for her/us to build since she’s totally into that. And I’m too poor and jaded to buy boxes with little trashy projects inside. I picked that as a starting point to follow whatever path in building she liked. Half way through she came up with the idea of adding more of the same circuits to make “it go harder!”

      Not to be a critic but a railgun would use the magnetic field to apply a Lorentz force to accelerate the projecttile but in a particle accelerator the Lorentz from the magnetic field is used to bend the path of the charged particles .

    A laser-driven accelerator engraved in silicon, however, would be easier
    to scale up, and multiple components could potentially fit on the same
    chip. Byer worked with several other researchers, including Stanford
    University electrical engineer Jelena Vuckovic, to produce such a tool.
    “What you have to design is the structure that will guide light in the
    right way, so light will always provide a kick in the right direction-so
    particles are always getting accelerated,” Vuckovic says. To determine
    that structure, her student Neil Sapra used a computer to simulate how
    different patterns would interact with incoming electromagnetic waves.
    Once they had a design that accelerated the electrons as much as
    possible, and always did so in the right direction, the researchers
    etched this accelerator into a silicon wafer.

    If I get a good technical answer to this question, I’ll like the video. Why? Because I’m gonna put things in a new perspective in the process of asking: 1. what would happen if you took several laser “bullets” and angled them they created a vortex to pull in the last particle with phenomenal power transference? Have say six lasers. 1 one in the center and five around it in a pentagram shape (just a guess on the total number, no math involved). have the center laser fire in the first and third position, and the five laser setup fired second in turn. The five lasers would be pointed slightly down and just off center so that they don’t touch but impart a spin and transfer full speed on the third particle. Another way of thinking about it is that The first shot just creates the entry, second shot creates a vortex, third shot hits the center of the vortex and accepts energy from all six shots. But then again, 2. wouldn’t that just create a short lived miniature black hole?

    The wake field is very interesting though. The energy of the light pulse is transferred to the plasma. Does it causes the light to redshift? Could we use multiples of pulses?
    From someone with EM physics degree: magnetohydrodynamics is sadly pseudoscience. As Alfven already stated. It is based on the idea that there is no electric field, but in reality there usually is. The electric field can even be very high in double layers, debunking some of the assumptions of the sun. There is a huge mix-up of fields. That is why the maths produce 10^6 order of errors. A clock that is standing still does a better job.

    just a note: the loss of energy due to synchrotron radiation is greater in elementary particles such as electrons or muons, the synchrotron energy is proportional to the inverse of the particle mass, if we are using heavier or composite particles, protons or pb nucleus, we will ave very low energy loss. thats why the LHC uses protons, the downside of this is the collisions also generate a lot more undesirable stuff.

    I am not sure if your description of how particle accelerators work, is correct.

    Would it be possible to make a cascade of Wakefield accelerators to boost the energy even higher?

    Proton cancer therapy will be revolutionized by Wakefield accelerators. Cyclotrons are used now. They are large, complicated and expensive so only limited cites are available . It's necessary to vary the energy to accommodate the volume of tumors due to the Bragg peak phenomenon. Varying the energy with a Wakefield is more straightforward.

    So, the Higg's was supposed to weight a certain amount or more, but they found something almost high enough! is this what we are calling the Higg's ? or do I got it all wrong?

    I am guessing that Wakefield Accelerators, though they can reach high energies, won't be able to achieve the luminosity of a standard accelerator like the LHC?

    Very cool. That OMG particle...hard to think something so tiny would hit with the force of a fastball. Question, could these be used to generate a thrust for a space probe? Small amount of actual thrust, but extremely high velocity over time.

      Probably not. Would be really inefficient for the amount of energy you need per pulse. A vasimr engine is still the best bet for speedy space travel.

      The Thought Emporium Good point. If you live in a society with near limitless energy capable of being generated from some spacecraft portable source, you can probably develop better propulsion systems.

    I always wondered if the electron also experience time dilation and contraction as it accelerate since it picks up mass with speed etc.

    The peek power and speed of things like TEA or N2 Lasers is rather good, would they work for something like a wake field if fired into metal vapor chamber? Timing should be possible by combining the particles with the pulse setting off the Laser in the first place. Curious if anyone knows if or whys this will or will not work.

    Why don't they use negative charge when the electron exits the ring, to repel it for even more acceleration?

    I am kinda curious how the power input and output ratio would be on this for such an accelerator with just enough energy input to force two deuterium nuclei to fuse (or any other pair of fusion compatible isotopes)
    Maybe an we have potential for an extremely compact fusion reactor here?
