- A particle accelerator is a machine that accelerates particles. More specifically, it accelerates elementary particles, like protons and electrons, at extremely high speeds-almost 99.99% of the speed of light. These particles are then smashed against a stationary target or against other particles traveling in the opposite direction. These collisions produce massive particles, such as the top quark or the Higgs boson, which last for only a fraction of a second. Then, almost immediately, these particles convert into smaller, lighter particles, which, in turn, decay almost instantly. These collisions not only help us understand the composition of the elementary particles in question but also supplement our knowledge of our universe’s origin immediately following the Big Bang.
Particle accelerators can be broadly classified into two categories-linear accelerators (also called LINACs) and circular accelerators. In this video, we discuss linear and circular accelerators and their respective applications.

After watching 3 seasons of The Flash, Particle Accelerator is the last thing I could ever forget about. 😂😂😂😂
Same
HAHA SAME !
You think they make those shows and movies just for entertainment? I don't think its just for entertainment. They put truth and shows and movies so when it becomes a reality people are just like" oh, oh well"
Seriously mann. Same here
Ahuh😂😂
your videos are always very informative , keep doing great work
Glad you like them!
I'm doing a Physics project on particle accelerators and this video was more than helpful. Thanks a ton!
I always used to wonder what they were, thank you for such informative video again!
You are so welcome!
I wish there was at least a word for vapor chambers. Those are so fascinating
Fantastic work you deserve more views
Thank you so much 😀
we use a particle accelerators in my work in the oil field,
i work as wireline logging engineer and we use a particle accelerator to generate neutrons that we can use to figure out how much oil there is in the formation
One word.. excellent
Can you please tell me what do you exactly mean when you say that the lighter particles from Higgs boson decay,do they just vanish?And if they do won’t they break the law of conservation of mass
That's a good question. However, you are looking at it from a classical perspective; there is conservation of energy, not mass. A particle that is as shortly lived as the Higgs Boson doesn't have a well-defined mass but a mass distribution. Think how electrons don't revolve around a nucleus in a well defined path, but rather exist in electron clouds. Similarly, the higgs boson has a mass distribution, and is actually an entangled pair of smaller particles. You might want to check out the concepts of standard model and inertial mass - citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.1031.8647&rep=rep1&type=pdf
This was really helpful for exams. Thanks a lot for such a good work.
Glad it was helpful!
I wanna know where the particles actually come from. Like, is there a particle store where I can get a big bag of particles or do I have to cook them in a lab? How do they get the particles in their elementary form before colliding them with one another, etc, etc, etc.
I've been making a little bit of research to be able to answer your questions ! So first of all, if you want to get an atom or molecule alone, you will need too separate it from his electrons and protons. Theyre is not a store where you can buy everything ( from my latest research). You will need to cook them by yourself or with a crew in a lab. To do that, you will need to excite the particules using microwave radiation. That makes a plasma where electrons and nucleus are not tightly bound. Then, by using hydrogen, whose nucleus is a single proton, the electrons and protons are separated using a simple electric field. So, now that I've answered both of your questions I'll wish you a beautiful night scientist !
PS: Sorry if I did a lot of mistakes. I'm not good in english but I'm wishing to be better everyday !
@@sartyxyt1635 Hey I wanna help! Sounds like fun, let's do it.
@@rondohunter8966 Ahah no sorry I was just answering his question. I don't know how you can help me doing that but you can alway specified my answer with other fact !
@@sartyxyt1635 I've got a particle accelerator I built in my backyard with material I got off eBay and the dark...the internet. I've got a plasma cutter but when I introduced hydrogen...things went awry, quickly. An electric field filter, why didn't I think of that.
@@rondohunter8966 WHAAT YOU BUILDED A PARTICLE ACCELERATOR BY YOURSELF ???? Is this a joke ? If you actully builded one for what and why?
I just saw this TikTok and it said this was gonna kill us but this vid really helped me call down, thanks bro
Decent video. Good for first time understanding
Glad it helped
frankly this is the best and easiest explanation ❤
Glad you think so!
am i watching educational video or Family Guy episode
I have a big question. How strong are the superconducting magnets in the large hadron colider all by themselves? Do the superconducting magnets have a magnetic strength of over 10 Mega electron volts?
Good of Seth MacFarlane to allow you the use of his proprietary character animation style, wasn't it?! 🤔
What a guy.
Nice Family guy animations
Breaking Bad one is even better
@@the_b1g_0ne Not surprising, given your first name! 😄
For the record, I'm a fan of both shows, so I give both the Family Guy-style animation and the Breaking Bad reference a big thumbs up! 👍 😁
Could you stack accelerators on top of each other like a 9V battery for a bigger charge?
The first accelerator based on the principle of repetitive acceleration was the cyclotron, invented by Ernest Lawrence in 1930 /Nobel Prize 1939/.
Since then, many different large accelerators have been built to study matter on ever smaller scales, and many (thousands) of "new" different particles have been discovered.
But these thousands of new and different particles did not help to understand the fundamental physical laws that govern matter, energy, space and time.
If for more than 100 years of studying quantum particles by breaking them up in accelerators, there is NO answer to the fundamental laws of quantum physics, then it is very possible that ''. . . at least one big idea is missing.” /Book: "The Trouble with Physics". Page 308. Lee Smolin/
Man, whenever they talked on TV why we need these things, all I got was broad and vague answers which bordered on "It helps magic science commune with science gods in order to tell us how universe was made."
It's good to know there's actually a proper explanation. Theoretical physics is well and good, but it's completely worthless unless we can actually utilize applied physics out of it.
Nice Breaking Bad call back
New sub love the video :))
Now how do you manage to isolate and drop only 1 or 2 particles in a tube
creative mode
@@chilli-boiAhhh, makes sense why I don't know. I haven't played Minecraft
Your characters look like family guy characters
ok ok, but why do we need to build one 100Km Part. acc??? just to see what happens? Do it on Mars...
It's much more sinister than that.
Learn the truth
Imagine in the far future we all be like "hey remember our ancestors used to smash particles together instead of dissecting them? Yea lol that was so primitive am I right?"
This is a joke :
now if it was a guy he would have bought one car and then dismantled it to see its parts
unlike what the girl in this vid . 😂😂😂😂😂😂
And now my comment :
a great explanation loved it 👌👍
Can this theoretically be used for anti gravitational device
How ??
@@abiaaryan9801 idk, that's why I asked
So when saying now all your placement studies could be pulling other directional energies or water sources or current flow of different energy bases
So I want to throw a concept that I've noticed that nobody else uses if I pick up a level and I pick up a ground survey to measure distance in a 45 I noticed on a level where you got your water bubbles you don't got them art or turned in any direction so the rotation of gravity from under or above is never played or understood in the correct directions like on some levels you got three bubbles three different height or angles but nobody participated all three of them at the correct rotation and calibration together
My girlfriend made fun of me because I didn't know what these were. She sent me this just now.
When you want to see inside a car. You get the tools or reverse engineer. Not smash the car. Smashing it ruins things and not let you see what you want.
I know it’s not the point but seems like a dumb idea.
What has come from doing this besides waiting money. Legitimately asking
Flash fans✋🏾
The flash landed me here
I know a friend who does this
1:50 o.o
No one gonna talk about the breaking bad reference?
Bro thinks he’s harrison wells
😂😂
NSA should have recruited to public huh
Am I the only one coming from watching the flash
You're not
Finding Eobard Thawne here😂😂
😂😂
Cool car and wonder car? 🤣🤣🤣
Family guy animation
At one billion a year to run of tax payer funds of course everything is the greatest breakthrough stances in history.
Time wasters monkey throwing rock at rock see what comes out PhD .
Why are these made in GoAnimate
2 israeli copper particle accelerators one in golan heights one in israel@narendramodi
