Can anyone direct me to a particle accelerator that can emit a horizontal beam of electrons or protons down a final linear track 5000 meters long. The final track must be electrically shielded so only gravitational effects (the downward pull of gravity at 32.2 f/m2) are acting on the beam. The...

gravity and particle accelerators Yes the Earth's gravitational acceleration, g, should not make any difference. But has any testing ever deliberately been done to prove that subatomic particles with opposite charge respond to gravity in the same way. Relativity explains a lot as a function of...

Is the effect of gravity ever considered in particle accelerator experiments? I would think not with all the high energy, velocities, and stong electric fields in use. But I am interested if gravitational effects have ever been considered or adjusts made to compensate for gravity's downward...
