Video lectures on particle accelerators

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on video lectures about particle accelerators, specifically from CERN's collection. Key resources include "Physics and Analysis at a Hadron Collider" and "Detectors for Linear Colliders," both accessible via CERN's CDS web portal. Participants discuss the feasibility of building smaller particle detectors at home, referencing personal experiences and notable physicists like Michio Kaku. The conversation emphasizes the distinction between small-scale projects and large, professional accelerators.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of particle physics
  • Familiarity with CERN's research and resources
  • Knowledge of video lecture formats and online educational tools
  • Interest in DIY physics projects
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore CERN's CDS web portal for additional lectures on particle physics
  • Research home-built particle detectors and their components
  • Investigate the principles behind linear colliders and their applications
  • Learn about the safety and regulations surrounding particle accelerator construction
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, hobbyists interested in particle detectors, educators seeking resources for teaching particle physics, and anyone curious about the practical applications of particle accelerators.

Is it possible to build one at home? are there "how to"??

Yes. It is possible. I know my professor did one when he was only ten years ago.
Just google it.
He also created an anti-matter machine in his backyard.

These are cool things that you can do at home. Check out google. Plenty.

Some of you might be guessing who my professor is... it's kind of obvious (he built anti-matter...)

But don't get yourself trouble with the real accelerator we see on the T.V.
You just can't build those.
 
Do you know Physicist Michio kaku built an atom smasher when he was a student
 
Why can I not contact the website in China?
