How can I make a detailed hypothesis for my particle accelerator project?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a detailed hypothesis for a small Linear Electron Collider project, involving two CRT electron guns and quadrupole magnets for electron focusing. The user is seeking equations and methods to analyze photon production from electron collisions, specifically looking for a way to create a Feynman diagram proportional to the energies involved. They express awareness of electromagnetic radiation dangers but believe they can manage them within safe levels. The user also mentions prior experience with a cloud chamber and shares a relevant PDF for additional context. Overall, the inquiry emphasizes the need for theoretical frameworks and calculations to advance their research project.

I,m trying to put together all the complexities of making a small Linear Electron collider.
Basically it's two crt electron guns on each end of an polycarbonate tube with quadrupole magnet's for focusing. I have a decent idea of the EMR dangers involved. But since I could keep it below a certain level, it wouldn't be extremely bad. I'd like to just to find another way to make photons, and relation to the reactions occurring (Extremely hypothetical example: 2 electrons colliding at what ever EV)


Is there any equations I could use to make a detailed hypothesis? Like an formula or a whole
method I could use. If I could find a way to make a Feynman diagram that would be proportional to the energies involved would be great. Since then I could look for the exact power settings to use and the thickness of polycarbonate I would need, and etc. Any help otherwise would be awesome.


Sorry if I sound like a complete noob, just a personal research project that I,m extremely interested in. I made a cloud chamber already,so don't suggest it instead. :p

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
