It was taken apart over the winter to upgrade it with new superconducting magnets to add power for speeding beams of particles around at nearly the speed of light.
12.
He designed a computer code that could control the shape and size of a beam of particles to ensure it would travel through Stanford's two-mile-long accelerator.
13.
Scientists finally pinpointed the area, switched everything off and opened up the accelerator right down to the highly-polished vacuum pipe where the beams of particles are supposed to travel.
14.
If you have a beam of particles and you shoot that at some target, then some fraction of the particles in the beam will interact with the particles in the target.
15.
While in his 30s, he pioneered the development of colliding-beam accelerators, in which opposing beams of particles slam into each other head-on, creating showers of debris and new particles.

Edwin McMillian and Phillip Ableson blasted uranium with a beam of particles to create the first synthetic element, heavier than uranium element 93, which they named "'neptunium " '.
17.
A "'collider "'is a type of particle accelerator involving directed beams of ring accelerators or linear accelerators, and may collide a single beam of particles against a stationary target or two beams head-on.
18.
The slit certainly " interacts " with the beam of particles; as the beam hits the slits, an interference pattern immerges, this is a result of the slits " transforming " the beam of particles via interaction.

Let us imagine a spherical target ( outlined in grey in the figure ) and a beam of particles ( in blue ) flying at speed " v " ( vector in black ) in the direction of the target.
