Why does the beam have to form bunches instead of a continuous beam in alternating acceleration? Because some particles would get decelerated in a continuous beam
0%
Why is a synchotron named as such? Because the magnetic field has to rise synchronously with the beam energy, in order to keep the beam on the fixed orbit while it gains in energy
0%
Why is the 1/4*pi geometric factor included in the above definition? Because we assume elliptically-shaped beams with a Gaussian distribution
0%
What are the factors that we need to know if we want to calculate the number of events (N) of a certain process to occur? cross section of the considered process, the number of particles in the two beams, the frequency of the beam revolution and the size of the beam at the interaction point
0%
Name two things accelerated particles are used for Directing them on a fixed target and colliding two accelerated beams head-on
0%
Name the two main types of interaction for a strong interaction Elastic scattering and inelastic scattering
0%
True or false: At high temperatures inelastic scattering is less dominant than elastic collisions? False
0%
Name the two main types of accelerators Linear and Cyclic
0%
Express the number of events, N, in terms of luminosity, time and the cross section of the considered process (P) P*int(Ldt)
0%
Give an equation for the Lorentz force ( in terms of q, v, B and E) q(v.B + E)

What are the uses of high energy beams? Give two uses Resolution of the structure of objects and the creation of new particles
0%
What are the units of luminosity? s^(-1)*m^(-2)
0%
How is acceleration achieved in a synchotron? The beam repeatedly traverses cavities placed in a ring.
0%
What is meant by inelastic scattering? The final state particles differ from the initial state.
0%
What does frev define? The frequency of revolutions of the beam
0%
