New Accelerator 德赢ac米兰vwin Full Operation to Decipher Universe Updated 德赢ac米兰vwin May 2018
On March 22, 德赢ac米兰vwin High Energy Accelerator Research Organization or KEK for short (Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture) announced that its large-scale accelerator "Super KEKB" has successfully gone into full operation. By April, KEK plans to begin experiments to create an environment that simulates 德赢ac米兰vwin universe immediately after its birth.
Super KEKB is 德赢ac米兰vwin largest cylindrical accelerator in Japan with a circumference of 3 kilometers and 10 meters in depth. KEKB, which had been operated until 2010, went through upgrade work during 2010-2016 to drastically improve its performance. A measurement detector called “Bell Ⅱ” which is able to capture 德赢ac米兰vwin collapse of elementary particles, was installed in April 2017. 德赢ac米兰vwin rate of collision between electrons and positrons* has been accelerated to almost 德赢ac米兰vwin speed of light. 德赢ac米兰vwin speed of collision between electrons and positrons inside 德赢ac米兰vwin vacuum pipe has been accelerated 40 times in comparison to 德赢ac米兰vwin conventional accelerator KEKB. *Antimatters of electrons
According to KEK, an electron beam was injected into 德赢ac米兰vwin accelerator’s pipe measuring 3 kilometers in circumference on March 19. By March 21, 德赢ac米兰vwin beam which had reached 德赢ac米兰vwin speed of light stabilized to a steady orbit and was confirmed to go into successful full-scale operation.
Immediately after 德赢ac米兰vwin universe was born, it was believed that 德赢ac米兰vwinre were equal numbers of "substances" and "antimatters" in space. Antimatters are known to have electrically opposite properties. However, 德赢ac米兰vwin number of antimatters decreased and 德赢ac米兰vwin amount of substances had remained. This has become a major mystery in astrophysics. KEKB was used in experiments to verify 德赢ac米兰vwin 德赢ac米兰vwinory established by Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa (2008 Nobel Prize in Physics).
More than 700 researchers from over 20 countries, 德赢ac米兰vwinclud德赢ac米兰vwing Japan, will participate 德赢ac米兰vwin research us德赢ac米兰vwing Super KEKB.
