  2. Anatoli Bugorski - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoli_Bugorski

    Anatoli Petrovich Bugorski (Russian: Анатолий Петрович Бугорский; born 25 June 1942) is a Russian retired particle physicist. He is known for surviving a radiation accident in 1978, when a high-energy proton beam from a particle accelerator passed through his head. [1] [2]

  3. Odd Man Out test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd_Man_Out_test

    A Jensen box. The Odd-Man-Out Reaction Time test (OMO RT) is a test of reaction times that uses Arthur Jensen's testing apparatus, the Jensen box.The box is normally used for measuring choice reaction times in which the participant in the experiment is tested on their ability to recognize which of the eight lights of the Jensen box is illuminated, as quickly as possible. [1]

    The electron beam current required to produce the X-rays is about 100 times greater than that used for electron therapy. [6] Turntable rotation. The patient is placed on a fixed stretcher. Above them is a turntable to which the components that modify the electron beam are fixed.

  5. Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler's_delayed-choice...

    Wheeler's cosmic interferometer uses a distant quasar with two paths to equipment on Earth, one direct and one by gravitational lensing. After [2]. In an attempt to avoid destroying normal ideas of cause and effect, some theoreticians [who?] suggested that information about whether there was or was not a second beam-splitter installed could somehow be transmitted from the end point of the ...

  6. ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER_Neutral_Beam_Test...

    To deliver power to the fusion plasma in ITER, two heating neutral beam injectors will be installed. They are designed to provide the power of 17 MW each, through the 23 m beamlines, up to the four-meter diameter container: in order to deposit sufficient heating power in the plasma core instead of the plasma edges, the beam particle energy shall be about 1 MeV, thus increasing the neutral beam ...

  7. 2011 OPERA faster-than-light neutrino anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_OPERA_faster-than...

    The travel time of the neutrinos had to be measured by tracking the time they were created, and the time they were detected, and using a common clock to ensure the times were in sync. As Fig. 1 shows, the time measuring system included the neutrino source at CERN, the detector at LNGS (Gran Sasso), and a satellite element common to both.

  8. Fixed-target experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-target_experiment

    The moving beam (also known as a projectile) consists of charged particles such as electrons or protons and is accelerated to relativistic speed. The fixed target can be a solid block or a liquid or a gaseous medium. [1] [2] These experiments are distinct from the collider-type experiments in which two moving particle beams are accelerated and ...

    Each was the size of a small house and was capable of registering the particles by their energy, momentum and charge, thus allowing physicists to infer the particle reaction that had happened and the elementary particles involved. By performing statistical analysis of this data, knowledge about elementary particle physics is gained. The four ...
