RE: Particle physics @ Utopian - Detecting particles at colliders and implementing this on a computer

in #utopian-io6 years ago

Some of them can reach the material of the detectors unaltered, so that they can interact with it.

This sounds like electrons leaving their valence shell, not too much i learnt about LHC detector but i know the little knowledge i got from this article will play out well for me in the future. THANK YOU @lemouth

In this case, electrons are in fact produced not from atoms, but either from the annihilation or the decay of other particles. I hope this clarifies.
