Hi all
How do the computers that control the magnets in a particle accelerator, make their changes fast enough to propel the charged particles at almost the speed of light, specifically with all those electronic latencies.
Is the course of the collision computer entirely beforehand, so the computers/electronics know what to do as opposed to sensing the particles positioning and changing in response?
Thanks to everyone in advance
