When particles collide...

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-12-09] [Hit: ]
but I was curious and couldnt find anything on Google to answer my dumb question.-It doesnt look like anything much to the human eye.The beams are very thin and invisible, expect to the instruments around the collision chamber.Thats why we always show computer animations of the collisions.Even the instruments are built to detect individual particles.......
Stupid STUPID question, but what does it look like inside the LHC when particles collide? Or is it invisible or too small or whatever?

Again, stupid question, I apologize, but I was curious and couldn't find anything on Google to answer my dumb question.

It doesn't look like anything much to the human eye. The beams are very thin and invisible, expect to the instruments around the collision chamber. That's why we always show computer animations of the collisions.

Even the instruments are built to detect individual particles. We don't want them drowned out in a haze or glow of light! So it's just a tiny beam of light (synchrotron radiation).

similar to what big rocks do when they collide, they split into smaller pieces

but with particles, since they are already small pieces, they break into their sub particle components

the event is too small and too fast for the naked eye to see, that is why they are building the LHC very big so they could get better pictures from it,similar to the megapixel of a camera. the more pixels you have, the smaller the things and the clearer the things that you can take pictures of.

When particles collide with each other they comes to react with each other.

No love for FERMILAB? :(
