"CERN's First Measurement of Coupled Resonance Structure Causing Particle Loss in Accelerators"
Scientists at CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron have experimentally proven the existence of a resonance structure that causes particle loss in accelerators for the first time. This structure, previously theorized and simulated, is difficult to study as it affects particles in a four-dimensional space. The findings, published in Nature Physics, will help improve beam quality for various accelerators and colliders. The experimental observation of these resonance structures opens the door to developing theories to minimize their detrimental effects on current and future accelerators.
