The first step in producing results from these devices is using a vertex and a tracking detector; examples of the latter are time projection chambers and scintillation detectors.
The first step in producing results from these devices is using a vertex and a tracking detector; examples of the latter are time projection chambers and scintillation detectors. A design of these devices popularized by E. O. Lawrence uses a circular tube split into two back-to-back regions shaped like capital Ds, across which an electric field reverses polarity. The first good example of these devices worked by charging a large bank of capacitors in parallel and was designed John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton. These devices are used for deep inelastic scattering experiments, with some of the first taking place at SLAC. An example of them that collides beams is the Tevatron. For 10 points, identify these devices that use electric fields to speed up particles, such as the LHC.
