Gravity ?
(Message 19385)
Posted 12 Apr 2008 by Kabal Post: If I remember correctly gravity is an extremely weak force in relationship to other forces (like the electromagnetic or strong nuclear forces). One of the goals for the LHC is to try and find the Higgs particle, that is postulated to be the cause of gravity! I'm remember reading that gravity has been compensated for in the design as part of the device is under a mountain and part isn't. Gravity has another indirect influence on the LHC: tides can change the length of the LHC circumference by 1 mm, and this produces changes in beam energy. Thus scientists must take this into account in their measurement. |

How does magnetic storing of antimatter works?
(Message 18332)
Posted 22 Oct 2007 by Kabal Post: How does magnetic storing of antimatter works? The standard device for trapping charged particles is the Penning Trap. I don't know how they trap neutral particles like antihydrogen atoms. |
