What are the names of 3 particle accelerators in the us?
Linac Coherent Light Source at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, ATLAS at Argonne National Laboratories, and the Tevatron at Fermilab. (There are others as well, such as the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.)
How does the Tevatron help scientists study the atom?
Before shutting down on Sept. 29, 2011, the Tevatron was the world's largest proton-antiproton collider. Residing at Fermilab, the Tevatron accelerated and stored beams of protons and antiprotons traveling in opposite directions around an underground ring four miles in circumference at almost the speed of light before colliding them at the center of two detectors.The detectors, called CDF, for Collider Detector at Fermilab, and DZero, named for its location on the accelerator ring, contain many detection subsystems that identified the different types of particles emerging from the collisions. Scientists explored the structure of matter, space and time by analyzing the showers of particles created.

Where is the Large Hadron Collider located?
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a underground ring 27 kilometers in circumference. It is used to smash protons together at speeds close to the speed of light (approx. 2.997*108). These protons are sent in "packets" which then collide with other packets. There are ultra sensitive particle detectors at impact points that record the collision. The purpose of the LHC is to determine if the Higgs Boson particle exists.
Used to accelerate protons in the study of subatomic particles?
Tevatron.
How does the Tevatron's purpose work?
The tevatron's purose works when particles of living things collide the atoms of a rainbow and the living thng becomes invincible. This has happened to me and i can never die. Love, Shanaynay for Canada PEACE OUT!

What will the new particle discovered at Tevatron Fermilab April 2010 going to be named?
no one might never know that.
How many proton collisions were run in the Tevatron before scientists confirmed their results to conclude that the Higgs boson particle existed?

What is used to accelerate protons?
It is the particle accelerator that we use to accelerate protons in the physics lab. (Accelerators can accelerate other things, too.) There are a number of different accelerators, and they include the cyclotron, the synchrotron, the tevatron, and the new LHC (Large Hadron Collider) to name a few. Use the link below to begin investigating these and other similar machines.

What is looking for higgs Boson?
The two most prominent particle colliders that are looking for the Higgs boson are the Tevatron at FermiLab (although that one is going to close soon) and the LHC at CERN.
Who is looking for the Higgs boson?
Many, many physicists are looking for the Higgs boson, and they're doing it mainly in two locations. The first location is at the Tevatron at Fermilab in Illinois. The second location is at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, which is near Geneva Switzerland.
Why was it so difficult for scienitist to find the sixth quark?
Because they needed to produce a collision with an energy around 200 GeV, the top quark's rest mass, to pop it into existence. There are currently only two accelerators in the world that can do this, the LHC at CERN and the Tevatron at Fermilab. As a point of reference, a mass of 200 GeV/c2 is about 200 times more massive than a proton.
What is gold commonly used for?
# Jewelry. # Coatings for metals, so they do not oxidize. # Coatings for optics (also blocks moisture affecting glass). # An example of relativity (see the link below). # To keep platinum and mercury apart (mild periodic table joke). # Used in the tevatron for both target and accelerated particle (because it does not oxidize in the rarefied environment of a particle accelerator chamber, no doubt).
