Physique|The European Particle Research Center CERN released a preliminary plan for a giant particle accelerator. If the billions of the project were found in CERN’s Member States, the device might start as early as the 2040s.
The abstract is made by artificial intelligence and checked by man.
The European Particular Research Center Cern published a plan for a 91 -kilometer particle accelerator.
The construction of the device would initially cost nearly EUR 16 billion and could start operating in the 2040s.
The aim of the new accelerator is to make new breakthroughs in particle physics, such as the study of dark matter.
If The plan published by the particle researchers will be realized, the world’s huge device is created on the French and Switzerland border in a couple of decades – quite soon given the size and high cost of the project.
This is a new particle accelerator or collision than 90 kilometers long planned by the European Particular Research Center (CERN). Its feasible plan has been made, CERN announced on Monday.
The plan is progressing and there should be no technical barriers, Cern’s CEO Fabiola Gianotti Said the AFP news agency. He also referred to the competition with China because The giant state is known to consider its own giant digestion.
The device is needed according to the supporters of the project, as particle physics needs it.
Very A huge picture of the planned particle acceleration well. The equipment would be in a circular tunnel. If its southernmost point were at the Helsinki railway station, the northernmost point would be somewhere north of Kerava.
The perimeter has a plan of 91 kilometers in the plan. A five -meter in diameter would be on average at a depth of 200 meters.
The tunnel would include a new particle accelerator with a vacuum -containing tube and strong particle spray -controlled magnets. There would be four test stations along the ring, with two particle sprayers in the opposite direction.
The idea of an accelerator is roughly the fact that it collides with particles, such as protons at the heart of the atom, almost at the speed of light among themselves. The collision will create a selection of other particles, hopefully new, for a moment for examination.
The current LHC accelerator’s ring has test stations that are the size of a block of flats, such as the CMS station. HS visited CERN in 2013, when CMS was in service. Particular jets collide in the core of the device in experiments.
Current a large hadron (LHC) is 27 kilometers long.
The most famous discovery for its lay people is probably the Higgs particle, which is said to explain the masses of other elementary particles. Hadron refers to a particle consisting of smaller base particles of the substance. Hadrons include, for example, the protons mentioned.
The Higgs particle was announced in 2012. Since then, there have been no big new discoveries, although LHC has been spinning all the time and has studied the basics of physics in many experiments.
If The project would be implemented, the work would begin in the early years of the next decade. After graduating, it would apparently encounter electrons and protons, later only protons.
According to Cern, it would be able to run into particles eight times with higher energy than the current LHC accelerator. The detectors would be more sensitive.
Physicist The hope is that collisions would create new particles that are needed to fill the gaps of particle physics. One goal would be to ensure the deepest essence of the Higgs particle. It may depend on the stability of the whole universe.
Namely, if the mass of Higgs is now known, The universe may not be stable. It may collapse if the mass of Higgs settled to its “right level” at a point. From there, the destruction would spread at the speed of light, in theory and sometimes in the future.
To be investigated According to CERN’s summary Also in anti -agent, initial explosion events and ghost particles, neutrins.
An important object is a dark matter. Only a small proportion of the substance is visible, and we also consist of it. There is five times the dark matter. Current experiments are not enough to reveal any particle of the dark matter. There are models that maybe a particle energy could be achieved with the help of FCC.
Gigantic The early price of the accelerator is now estimated at 15 billion Swiss francs, which is nearly EUR 16 billion. It would hardly remain the final price. This amount would be divided into more than ten years of construction.
Scheduled The particle accelerator has not yet received funding and has not been decided. If the project gets what they want, the device could start operating in the 2040s, though hardware would be developed for decades.
By 2028, the Member States of Cern, such as Finland, should decide whether to build their all -time accelerator with funding. Even the opponents have the project, recalls Summary on Science Alert.
Also In the analysis of the Nature Science Magazine Researchers are wondering if a billion -billion project is needed to replace gaps in the prevailing model of particle physics when there is no certainty about the results. The alternative could be straight linear acceleratorperhaps one third of the giant digestion.
