This experiment, which focuses on B-mesons, is located at the KEK laboratory in Japan. One of its primary goals is to investigate why the universe appears to be made entirely from matter, and not from anti-matter. There is a competing experiment, BaBar, located at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.
Industry:Physics
A national laboratory located in Long Island, New York. This multidisciplinary laboratory, operated by the Department of Energy, is the site of the AGS and RHIC (relativistic heavy-ion collider) accelerators.
Industry:Physics
A proposed experiment to be based at Fermilab. It is the expanded version of the Mini-BooNE experiment, which is currently under construction.
Industry:Physics
A proposed experiment to take place at the Fermilab Tevatron. It would study B-Meson decay in detail.
Industry:Physics
This is one of the two large multi-purpose experiments located at the Fermilab Tevatron. Along with D0, it discovered the top quark in 1995.
Industry:Physics
A particle physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland that is supported by 20 member states. It is the site of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is currently under construction. Over the last fifteen years, the experiments at CERN have provided particle physicists crucial information about electroweak unification.
Industry:Physics
A machine, located at Cornell University, funded by the National Science Foundation, that collides a beam of electrons and a beam of positrons of equal energy. The total Energy is adjustable from 9<sup>-12</sup> GeV.
Industry:Physics
Light travels more slowly in materials, such as water, than it does in a vacuum. No particle can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. Particles that travel faster than the speed of light in a given material emit a cone of light, in the same way that objects exceeding the speed of sound emit a sonic boom. Detectors that use this light to detect subatomic particles are known as Cherenkov detectors.
Industry:Physics
This experiment is based at the CESR accelerator. It is most noted for its study of the B-meson system.
Industry:Physics
A proposed linear collider under study by an international group based at CERN. The proposal is for a collider that could reach energies of 5 TeV.
