High Energy Physics Research

The Department of Energy s laboratories have accelerators that provide up to 800 MeV proton beams. Other machines support high-energy physics research but occasionally are used to produce special nuclides such as xenon-127. 

If there is any doubt that the Superconducting Supercollider (SSCj—the gigantic, 20-trillion-electron-volt, high-energy-physics research machine that the United States hopes to have built twenty-five miles south of Dallas by 1996—will be the most ambitious technological application of superconductivity ever attempted, just glance at the formidable industrial specifications ... 

Transparent Silica Aerogel Blocks for High-Energy Physics Research... 

In high-energy physics research, observations and analysis of the Cherenkov light produced in transparent silica aerogel blocks can identify charged particles. Since each particle has a characteristic mass, any particle can be identified by a simultaneous... 

P-EW has been supplying TMSA blocks to high-energy physics research fields since around 1997. From the experiences of manufacturing and supplying of TMSA, three types of standard specifications whose refractive index is 1.015,1.030, and 1.050 are setup as shown in Table 28.1. SP-30 whose refractive index is 1.03 has the highest transparency (>92% at 550 nm wavelength), and the values for SP-15 and SP-50 (>90% and >88%, respectively, at...
