Here is a list of useful high-energy physics links...
Underneath these, are some helpful teaching links discovered during the 2001 Summer Institute!
|
|
National QuarkNet Home Page The home of the QuarkNet program -- a cooperation between high energy physics experiments and high school physics classrooms. |
|
|
|
Fermilab - Illinois Home of the Tevatron, currently the highest energy particle collider in operation. |
|
|
|
CDF detector @ Fermilab One of the two major experiments within the proton/anti-proton ring at Fermilab, CDF has observed the Top Quark. |
|
|
|
D-Zero detector @ Fermilab The other major detector within the main ring at Fermilab, D-zero has published numerous articles covering a wide range of topics. |
|
|
|
CERN - Switzerland CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research, the world's largest particle physics centre. |
|
|
|
LHC project @ CERN The LHC is an accelerator which brings protons and ions into head-on collisions at higher energies than ever achieved before. This will allow scientists to penetrate still further into the structure of matter and recreate the conditions prevailing in the early universe, just after the "Big Bang". |
|
|
|
ATLAS detector @ CERN The ATLAS experiment is being constructed by 1850 collaborators in 150 institutes around the world. It will study proton-proton interactions at the Large Hadron Collider ( LHC ) at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics CERN. The detector is due to begin operation in the year 2005. A prime physics goal of ATLAS is to understand the nature of mass. |
|
|
|
Kamioka Underground Obs. - Japan Kamioka Underground Observatory, the predecessor of the present Kamioka Observatory, Institute for Cosmic Ray Reserch, University of Tokyo, was established in 1983. The original purpose of this observatory was to verify the Grand Unified Theories, one of the most impenetrable matters of elementary particle physics, through a Nucleon Decay Experiment. |
|
|
|
Super Kamiokande Detector @ Kamioka Super-Kamiokande (A Large Water Cerenkov Detector for Cosmic Particles) 50,000 tons of pure water. |
|
|
|
RHIC - New York Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) was founded in 1947 to provide a center for basic and applied scientific research in the northeastern United States. High energy physics research has been a major activity at BNL since 1952, when the Cosmotron became the first accelerator to provide protons with energies above one billion electron volts. |
|
|
|
Nevis Labs @ Columbia U Nevis Laboratories is Columbia University's primary center for the study of high-energy experimental particle and nuclear physics. |
|
|
|
SLAC - California The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is a national basic research laboratory, probing the structure of matter at the atomic scale with x rays and at much smaller scales with electron and positron beams. The laboratory is operated by Stanford University under a contract from the United States Department of Energy (DOE). |
|
|
|
ZEUS detector @ DESY ZEUS is a large detector at the DESY electron-proton colider HERA for the study of interactions between electrons and protons. |
|
|
|
JHF - Japan The "Japan Hadron Facility" houses three accelerators including the 50 GeV main synchotron. |
|
|
|
KEK-High Energy Accelerator Res. Org. Welcome to KEK, a research organization for science with high energy accelerators. The organization was founded for research on particle and nuclear physics, and material science using advanced accelerators and related facilities. |
|
|
|
SSC - not to be... The Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory was a DOE supported facility. The U.S. House of Representatives decided in 1993 to halt the project after 14 miles of tunneling were completed and two billion dollars spent. The laboratory, located South of Dallas, TX, is in the final shutdown phase. |
|
|
|
The Particle Adventure The Particle Adventure is an award-winning site that introduces the theory of fundamental particles and forces, called the Standard Model. It also explores the experimental evidence and the reasons physicists want to go beyond this theory. |
|
|
|
Physics 2000 An interactive journey through modern physics that uses interactive applets. |
|
|
|
U.S. Department of Energy The Department of Energy is a leading science and technology agency whose research supports our nation's energy security, national security, environmental quality, and contributes to a better quality of life for all Americans. |
|
|
|
National Science Foundation A major sponsor of the QuarkNet program, the National Science Foundation funds research and education in science and engineering. |
