Cherenkov Telescope Array
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) is a multinational project to build a new generation of ground-based gamma-ray instruments in the energy range extending from some tens of GeV to about 300 TeV. It is proposed as an open observatory and will consist of two arrays of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, a first array at the Northern Hemisphere, on the Spanish island of La Palma, with emphasis on the study of extragalactic objects at the lowest possible energies, and a second array at the Southern Hemisphere, in the Atacama Desert in Chile, which is to cover the full energy range and concentrate on galactic sources. The physics program of the CTAO goes beyond high-energy astrophysics into cosmology and fundamental physics. Building on the technology of current-generation ground-based gamma-ray detectors ( MAGIC, HESS, and VERITAS), the CTAO will be ten times more sensitive and have unprecedented accuracy in its detection of high-energy gamma rays.

International Linear Collider
The International Linear Collider (ILC) is a proposed linear particle accelerator. It is planned to have a collision energy of 500 GeV initially, with the possibility for a later upgrade to 1000 GeV (1 TeV). Although early proposed locations for the ILC were Japan, Europe (CERN) and the USA (Fermilab), the Kitakami highland in the Iwate prefecture of northern Japan has been the focus of ILC design efforts since 2013. The Japanese government is willing to contribute half of the costs, according to the coordinator of study for detectors at the ILC. The ILC would collide electrons with positrons. It will be between long, more than 10 times as long as the 50 GeV Stanford Linear Accelerator, the longest existing linear particle accelerator. The proposal is based on previous similar proposals from Europe, the U.S., and Japan. In a staged approach, the ILC could initially be constructed at 250 GeV, for use as a Higgs factory. Such a design would be approximately 2 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Observatory is an international cosmic ray observatory in Argentina designed to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic rays: sub-atomic particles traveling nearly at the speed of light and each with energies beyond . In Earth's atmosphere such particles interact with air nuclei and produce various other particles. These effect particles (called an "air shower (physics), air shower") can be detected and measured. But since these high energy particles have an estimated arrival rate of just 1 per km2 per century, the Auger Observatory has created a detection area of —the size of Rhode Island, or Luxembourg—in order to record a large number of these events. It is located in the western Mendoza Province, Argentina, near the Andes. Construction began in 2000, the observatory has been taking production-grade data since 2005 and was officially completed in 2008. The northern site was to be located in southeastern Colorado, United States and hosted by Lamar Com ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
CERN
The European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN (; ; ), is an intergovernmental organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. Established in 1954, it is based in Meyrin, western suburb of Geneva, on the France–Switzerland border. It comprises #Member states and budget, 24 member states.

ATLAS Experiment
ATLAS is the largest general-purpose particle detector experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a particle accelerator at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Switzerland. The experiment is designed to take advantage of the unprecedented energy available at the LHC and observe phenomena that involve highly massive particles which were not observable using earlier lower-energy accelerators. ATLAS was one of the two LHC experiments involved in the discovery of the Higgs boson in July 2012. It was also designed to search for evidence of theories of particle physics beyond the Standard Model. The experiment is a collaboration involving 6,003 members, out of which 3,822 are physicists (last update: June 26, 2022) from 243 institutions in 40 countries.

Lawrence in 1931, with a radius of just a few centimetres and a particle energy of 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Subatomic Scale
The subatomic scale is the domain of physical size that encompasses objects smaller than an atom. It is the scale at which the atomic constituents, such as the nucleus containing protons and neutrons, and the electrons in their orbitals, become apparent. The subatomic scale includes the many thousands of times smaller subnuclear scale, which is the scale of physical size at which constituents of the protons and neutrons—particularly quark A quark () is a type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter. Quarks combine to form composite particles called hadrons, the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the components of atomic nucleus, atomic nuclei ...s—become apparent.

Dolní Břežany
Dolní Břežany is a municipality and village in Prague-West District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 4,700 inhabitants. Administrative division Dolní Břežany consists of four municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census): *Dolní Břežany (3,598) *Jarov (88) *Lhota (699) *Zálepy (291) Etymology The name Břežany is derived from the word ('[river] bank' in Czech, but in old Czech also meaning 'hillside') or from the word ('birch forest'). The word ''břežané'' denoted people who live near a bank, hillside or birch forest, so Břežany was a village of such people. In the 17th century, when church owned two villages named Břežany and needed to distinguish them, this village became known as Dolní ('lower') Břežany. Geography Dolní Břežany is located south of Prague, in its immediate vicinity. Most of the municipal territory lies in the Prague Plateau. The northwestern part lies in a tip of the Brdy, Brdy ...

Střešovice
Střešovice is a Districts of Prague, cadastral area in the west of Prague, located in the Prague 6 district. Střešovice is often called the "local Beverly Hills" because it has been home to some famous residents, including Czech President Václav Havel. The neighborhood is made up of green, quiet, village-like streets and is a 10-minute walk from Prague Castle, and the Dejvice district. The major sights include Villa Müller by Functionalism (architecture), functionalist architect Adolf Loos (1930) and The Church of St Norbert in Romanesque Revival architecture, Romanesque Revival (1890-1891) style.
