利用ATLAS探測(cè)器尋找WWW過(guò)程和雙電荷Higgs粒子.pdf

1、The ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus) experiment, worldwide collaboration of more than 3000 scientists from 175 institutions in 38 countries, is conducting researches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), world's largest ha

2、dron collider.Designed to collide proton beams at a 14 TeV center of mass energy and a 1034 cm-2s-1 peak luminosity, the LHC ran at 7 TeV in 2011 and 8 TeV in 2012, this running period is referred to as Run 1.Shut down d
