RE: How onions have inspired particle physicists to design their detectors

in #steemstem7 years ago (edited)

Around the tracker stand the electromagnetic and the hadronic calorimeters. Their role consists of stopping the particles that go through them, so that their energy could be measured....
With respect to this 👆


electromagnetic and the hadronic calorimeters will they also be able to measure the amount of energy carried along the solar wind?

Good question. Tjhe answer is 'no'. Particle accelerators are only aimed to detect what is going on when two beams of known particles are collided with each other. The solar winds do not enter here.

Thank you for your response, i was about to ask about aurora before.
