That was a 76 GeV proton beam, compared to the LHC at 6.5 TeV, or 85.5 times the energy per proton.
- zaarn 7y agoThe LHC will most likely not be as tame in comparison.
- ethbro 7y agoIt was all well and good when it was just "Gordon, please push the sample cart into the beam."
- blattimwind 7y agoHave you seen the entrances to the accelerator caverns? You really need to watch your step there, if you fall you'll die for sure! The CERN is harnessing these ancient, fundamental powers for this, we barely understand how they work... gravity.
