Thanks! Will check them out..

Are there any labs or private companies that can run particle beam simulations for a fee? If there are, any suggestions how to find them? thanks..

@v50: I doubt we can use P = VI here. This is not a circuit current, there is no resistance (except for the infinitesimal resistance of free space), so P=VI can't be applied here as far as I can tell. Anyhow, what would V be here? The voltage from one end of beam to the other is zero, the charge...

I received the 10^25 figure from a physicist, but admittedly I don't have a source for it. I should have double-checked it before posting, my mistake. But I arrived at a similar number from luminosity figures for linear colliders too. SLC for instance has a luminosity of about 0.002x10^33...

The main cause of decay of particle accelerator beams is the scattering due to residual gas particles in the vacuum rings. I read some research suggesting (in my understanding) that most of these free gas particles (CO2, CO etc) are the result of desorption from the surface of the vacuum tube...

Linear collider beams usually carry about 10^25 particles while synchrotron beams considerably less particles, usually 10^11 to 10^14. Why is this? Are there practical (or theoretical) limits to the density of particles in a synchrotron beam? Or is it simply because sychrotron beams can achieve...

Thanks

When an accelerated charged particle is shot into an electromagnetic field such that the accelerated particle comes to a complete stop in the field, we naturally have loss of energy from the charged particle. But what is this energy converted to? And where? Does the particle release radiation...
