    In '64 I started a experimental machinist apprenticeship at the University of Southern Calif. Physics Lab. In the mid '50's they inherited what was said to be the first proton accelerator developed by Luis Alverez. I completed my apprenticeship just as the AEC contract termed out and actually worked to dismantled the LINAC and ship it to the Smithsonian. It was cut away to reveal the first and last drift tubes and thus preserved for its historical significance in display form. I never had a complete picture of the science behind it the whole time I worked there. Thanks for making it understandable to the laye person.

    Thanks for the video. Question. It is mentioned that it would actually take longer than 36 second to accelerate to design energy (at 5:36). And that this is because of the ever higher energy. Is this because the proton is increasing in mass therefore not accelerating (increasing velocity) as much per push? Please clarify thanks...

    If an electron is traveling as the lone-1s¹ companion of a nuclear ion {He, Fe, Au, U,...}:
    -does that electron itself emit synchrotron radiation around the circular accelerator...
    -is the electron's emitted synchrotron radiation stronger by its combined velocity...
    -do both the nucleus and, the electron, emit synchrotron radiation...

    So I have this idea for an accelerator that works like a small version of the LHC, But when time to collide, an electron and neutron are also injected to the collision site. Basically building an atom via high-speed smashin. Rather than the other method of shooting down a massive particle to the correct state, like how fission reactors work.

    • @materiasacra
      @materiasacra 7 років тому +1

      In addition to the answer by ScienceNinjaDude:
      To get an intuitive feel for why electromagnetic radiation needs to be emitted by an accelerating particle, consider the law of conservation of momentum. It only applies to systems without 'external forces' on it. The accelerating particle clearly is not such a system. If things go slowly there is ample time to transfer some of the particle's momentum to the apparatus (the magnetic coils, the yokes holding them up, the soil in which they are anchored,...), without us noticing HOW exactly this works. The momentum shows up as a (very tiny) stress in the construction and this happens essentially instantaneously from our slow everyday perspective.
      However, if things go really fast (scale set by the traversal time of light across apparatus), we do need to appreciate the mechanism of momentum transfer inside the apparatus. Inside the LHC (or any accelerator for that matter) there is basically... nothing. The beam flies inside a vacuum tube. So the momentum change of the particle as its trajectory bends must somehow be carried through the vacuum, and the electromagnetic field is the only candidate to do that. So we need some 'blobs' of electromagnetic field that carries off the momentum that compensates for the particle's momentum change: this is the synchrotron radiation.
      Fundamental question: does the momentum HAVE to be carried by some mechanism? Can it not show up instantaneously elsewhere, guaranteeing that the overall momentum of the setup is conserved without requiring it to be transported from each point to the next? The answer is no, and the reason has to do with the word 'instantaneously'. It is not compatible with Special Relativity (SR). In SR simultaneity is relative, depending on the frame of reference: events at different locations in space that are simultaneous for one observer need not be simultaneous for another observer. All inertial observers are equally valid, as postulated by SR. So we cannot have a physical law that uses the notion of simultaneity pertaining to different locations in space. This rules out any 'global-but-not-local' momentum conservation law. Different observers would not agree on it. Therefore momentum must indeed be conserved locally, meaning that any transfer of momentum from one place to another has to go through intermediary places also. So yes, we do need a mechanism to carry off momentum.
      The Maxwell Equations of electromagnetism describe he phenomenon well, and physics students are required to be able to compute the exact properties of synchrotron radiation, e.g. that its angular distribution becomes more concentrated around the plane of particle motion as the particle speed goes up. This property is actually quite useful. There exist particle accelerators in which the particles are the objects of interest at all, but the main aim is getting powerful beams of electromagnetic radiation in the X-ray part of the spectrum. Synchrotron radiation as a product, instead of a nuisance!

    • @materiasacra
      @materiasacra 7 років тому +1

      No you did not miss anything. I just explained the basic reason for e.m. radiation emission qualitatively.
      To see why electrons suffers greater synchrotron radiation loss, we need to dive into details. I know of no simple way to explain this. So I simply outline the technical argument.
      First consider the (unrealistic but easy) non-relativistic case. The radiative power loss of an accelerating charge is, according to the Larmor formula, proportional to the 2nd power of the acceleration. The proportionality constant contains the charge squared and constants of nature. For uniform circular motion the acceleration is proportional to the speed squared, as we learn in school. Now we need to think clearly.
      For a GIVEN kinetic energy of the particle E=0.5mv^2, which is the quantity of interest for the experiments we want to do, the square of the speed is inversely proportional to its mass. So the radiative power loss ends up inversely proportional to the mass squared. There you have it: heavy particles suffer less power loss.
      But this is misleading. Reality is worse, due to relativity. The electromagnetic field at some moment at some point, due to the particle's motion, does not depend on the 'current' location of the particle, but on a previous location. The effect of changes in the particle's motion need time to propagate to the location we are observing the field. This effect is called 'retardation'. If you go through the proper relativistic computation, you basically get the same formula as Larmor, but with an extra factor of gamma TO THE POWER SIX! Here gamma is the famous relativistic factor 1/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2). Now this gamma also occurs in the energy: E = gamma m. So the 6th power of gamma results in an extra factor 1/m^6. This is disastrous (understatement). The advantage of using protons instead of electrons in a ring is enormous.
      Now all this not very satisfactory if you haven't studied electrodynamics. Where do these formulae come from? Well, it's just Maxwell's equations and math. They yield differential equations for the field, which you solve for the case of a moving point charge. You only need the behavior 'far' from the particle (scale=typical wavelength). Then you also need to know the momentum of an electromagnetic field, the so-called Poynting vector, which is basically the cross product of electric and magnetic field. Of course you first need to find out why this is so, by considering a system of charges and fields whose overall momentum is conserved, so that you can equate the field momentum to minus the overall particle momentum. Finally: careful bookkeeping. You need to integrate the power radiated in various directions, being careful with your reference frames and the little 'conceptual' surface elements through which the power flows.
      As I said, I know of no easy 'handwaving' argument to communicate this. Sorry.

    • @rhamph
      @rhamph 7 років тому

      The slighter curve would reduce the energy radiated by the particle, allowing you to build it up to even higher energies. However, I'm not sure that would be any better than a continent-sized linear accelerator, which would have the same curve but much more acceleration.
      Besides, if you follow the variations in the earth's crust, and particularly under the ocean, you lose much of the smoothness. The earth is pretty smooth, but not "I want to build a particle accelerator around it" smooth. The solution? Build it in space instead so it's literally *around* the planet!

      The moon could be a good option, but by no means trivial. Take a look at www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_2110.html and you see that any possible alignment is going to have several km of altitude variation, which would have to be dealt with by building tunnels or bridges.
      It's also much smaller than you'd get by building in earth's orbit. It's sort of halfway between earth's orbit and the largest land-based loop you could do on earth.

  • @ganjanaut6038
    @ganjanaut6038 7 років тому

    In a way you can tell gravity (of an accelerated object) where to go. Accelerate something at the "speed of light" and it's acceleration (energy) would equate to is mass, any momentum passed that point (say in a black hole) would be more mass for acceleration. So if an object goes that fast the space it's in will move in the opposite direction(external force moving in), It's why things appear quantum.(Ex.neutrino) Light doesn't bend around objects the space just bends along with any light in it. If a fill a ballon (particle with energy in space) with water it will float in water fill it with cement (more/dense energy) it will sink.

    Yes but why is there positive and negative electric charge but not positive and negative mass? Is antimatter really the same as matter except for the opposite spin? We're told they annihilate, but isn't a collision between such tiny particles extremely unlikely? Why does an electron have two fatter siblings, yet the other three fundamental particles don't? Wait - they do! Right? The neutrino has the mu and tau siblings, and the up and down quarks have their four other sibling quarks. Right? Now the other quarks are not found in nature, and the tau lepton is almost as rare. What kind of universe will we awaken into at the other end of the journey? What is the opportunity cost of high-energy physics? What have we given up in order to pursue it? Evidently opportunities abound in a quark-gluon plasma. Virtual particle-pairs materialize up the yin-yang, and that is just the beginning, as even more virtual particles materialize in order to create and mediate forces between the original particles and between the original particles and the virtual particles, and vice-versa. At that point you have a boson jet; impressive at first, but ultimately inconsequential.
