  2. Tracking (particle physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracking_(particle_physics)

    In particle physics, tracking is the process of reconstructing the trajectory (or track) of electrically charged particles in a particle detector known as a tracker.The particles entering such a tracker leave a precise record of their passage through the device, by interaction with suitably constructed components and materials.

  3. Open Source Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Source_Physics

    Open Source Physics, or OSP, is a project sponsored by the National Science Foundation and Davidson College, whose mission is to spread the use of open source code libraries that take care of a lot of the heavy lifting for physics: drawing and plotting, differential equation solvers, exporting to animated GIFs and movies, etc., tools, and compiled simulations for physics and other numerical ...

  4. Accelerator physics codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerator_Physics_Codes

    For many applications it is sufficient to track a single particle through the relevant electric and magnetic fields. Old codes no longer maintained by their original authors or home institutions include: BETA, [3] AGS, ALIGN, COMFORT, DESIGN, DIMAD, HARMON, LEGO, LIAR, MAGIC, MARYLIE, PATRICIA, PETROS, RACETRACK, SYNCH, [4] TRANSPORT, TURTLE, and UAL.

  5. Particle detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_detector

    In experimental and applied particle physics, nuclear physics, and nuclear engineering, a particle detector, also known as a radiation detector, is a device used to detect, track, and/or identify ionizing particles, such as those produced by nuclear decay, cosmic radiation, or reactions in a particle accelerator. Detectors can measure the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_II_experiment

    The Belle II experiment is a particle physics experiment designed to study the properties of B mesons (heavy particles containing a bottom quark) and other particles. Belle II is the successor to the Belle experiment , and commissioned at the SuperKEKB [ 1 ] accelerator complex at KEK in Tsukuba , Ibaraki prefecture , Japan .

  7. Compact Muon Solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Muon_Solenoid

    The innermost layer is a silicon-based tracker. Surrounding it is a scintillating crystal electromagnetic calorimeter, which is itself surrounded with a sampling calorimeter for hadrons. The tracker and the calorimetry are compact enough to fit inside the CMS solenoid, which generates a powerful magnetic field of 3.8 T. Outside the magnet are ...

    The TRT (Transition Radiation Tracker) central section, the outermost part of the Inner Detector, assembled above ground and taking data from cosmic rays [28] in September 2005. The Inner Detector [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 29 ] begins a few centimetres from the proton beam axis, extends to a radius of 1.2 metres, and is 6.2 metres in length along the ...
