In a small group make two lists on a large sheet of paper:
- What you think you know about acceleration of particles.
- Questions that you have about accelerators or ideas that you aren't
sure about.
You need to know these concepts before you go further:
-
What is the relativisitic relationship for energy and momentum? If you do
not know, go to
Equations.
-
If you build an accelerator to give the particles
greater momentum, what factors must you change in the design of a circular
accelerator? Think about your experiments with the Helmholz coils or
On-Screen Particle Physics software.
