Thanks. Here is a follow up question about heavy ion collisions. I understand that in a heavy ion collision you have a "fireball" that expands and cools, does it ever happen that another ion from elsewhere in the beam goes into the fireball while it still exists? Does anything special happen...

Is it ever the case in particle accelerators such as the LHC that a collision occurs involving three or more particles (e.g. two particles collide then some of the debris from that collision impacts a third particle)? Does the same phenomenon.also occur in cosmic ray collisions (I would...

I want to know, given a liquid at a particular temperature and pressure, how fast the atoms in it are moving due to thermal motion. I know that you can do this by calculating the thermal kinetic energy of the atoms, and then figure out the speed from there. I also know that for gases the...
