  • Particle accelerators can fire beams of subatomic particles at near the speed of light. The accelerating force is generated using radio frequency technology and a whole lot of interesting features. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains how it all works.

    What a experimental module .Doping with RF.
    Fermilab is the heart and soul of physics at high standard .Each and every laboratory is world Bank of experience and physics and friction.
    Many people have their's own .
    A lesson I have learnt in electron spectroscopy.

    Should talk a bit about the how the uncertainty principle comes into play when you need to time the RF field in just the right way so that particles are in a well defined position (but consequently ill-defined velocity) at the top of the RF 'arch' so to speak. Good video, thanks!

    Hey! Thanks for all the videos so far, this is very interesting stuff. I have a questions if you don't mind. Since the bunch gets accelerated more and more and does this mean that you need to control the phase angles of the RF waves injected into the cavities as the bunch loops around to always allow for this perfect scenario? Also. how big (physically) are the typical cavities and what is the typical frequency of the RF waves. Cheers.

    • @ganjanaut6038
      @ganjanaut6038 Před 7 lety

      +ScienceNinjaDude What does that have to do with readings from frequency? You'd still get a data feed from the loop, if I have a timer running for a car going a lap it wouldn't matter if I used seconds or milliseconds, the loop feed would just be fractioned data when momentum increases.

  • @romanieo

    Great job as always Don. I just got back from CERN, I spent a couple of days visiting ATLAS, CMS and CCC. While there, they were running lead ions in the LHC. Hopefully your next video could explain how protons (hydrogen ions) gain mass when accelerated (if you haven't already made a video on this topic.) I never knew how integral RF was to particle acceleration.

    • @romanieo

  • @jpruzc
    @jpruzc Před 4 lety +1

    I have a question, and I hate to ask it here but I can't seem to find the answer. I understand how standing EM waves are created inside the cavity and this is the oscillating electric field that accelerates particles. What I don't understand is the geometry of how these standing waves are created in such a way that the E field points in the direction of the particle's motion. I imagine the standing waves being created in the longitudinal axis (along the length of the cavities), but in this case, the E field would be oscillating vertically and not horizontally. Can somebody please explain? Thanks!

    Is there a way to use a kind of "full bridge rectifier" in order to have the eletric fields only in the desired direction ? I mean, maybe there is no semiconductor that would be suitable for this use, but it would be pretty cool if there was something like this.

    So (budget and space permitting), could a number of accelerators be shifted out of phase relative to each other such that when you wish to have the particles strike a target, they would be combined into a continuous beam as opposed to a single accelerator providing bunches of particles with gaps between?

  • @jonathanjackson7047
    @jonathanjackson7047 Před rokem

    This is not the reason we use RF to accelerate particles. There is some advantage to resonance when using a standing wave cavity. But there are many disadvantages of using RF.. energy spread of the particles, duty factor, heating and resonance matching etc. We would prefer to use DC voltages if we could. The problem with DC is arcing. This limits DC voltages and its something like 10kV per cm. Consequently, our accelerating gradient maximum is something like 1 MeV/m. THe largest van der graaf is 7MeV and is quite big. RF cavities can achieve much higher gradients on the order of 10's of MeV/m. This was the motivation to move from VanDerGraf type accelerators to RF cavities.

    11 exists in professional sports too. In an interview with the new england patriot's running back on how he scored the super bowl winning touchdown he explains that he gave it 110%. The next year when they lost the superbowl the same player gave reasons why they lost but he never said he gave it 110%. I actually made up that story because I couldn't name any of the players but watch any sports interview ever and the winning team/player will always say how they gave it 110% but only when they won. Whats the real reason? If there is one the players certainly don't know.
