Wisconsin notsu physics12/20/2023 DOE labs: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory. Most of the magnets used in The LHC are built in three U.S. (We have not really left High Energy Physics. If this project had been built, most probably the Higgs Boson would have been found there, not in Europe, to which the USA had ceded High Energy Physics. It would have greatly surpassed the current record held by the Large Hadron Collider, which has ring circumference 27 km (17 mi) and energy of 13 TeV per proton. Its planned ring circumference was 87.1 kilometers (54.1 mi) with an energy of 20 Tev per proton and was set to be the world’s largest and most energetic. In 1993, our idiot Congress pulled the plug on The Superconducting Super Collider, a particle accelerator complex under construction in the vicinity of Waxahachie, Texas. The oldest post I can find for this blog is From FermiLab Today: Tevatron is Done at the End of 2011 (but I am not sure if that is the first post, just the oldest I could find.)īut the origin goes back to 1985, Timothy Ferris Creation of the Universe PBS, November 20, 1985, available in different videos on YouTube The Atom Smashers, PBS Frontline November 25, 2008, centered at Fermilab, not available on YouTube and The Big Bang Machine, with Sir Brian Cox of U Manchester and the ATLAS project at the LHC at CERN. WiPPL and its leadership are fully committed to a diverse, equitable and inclusive research community and follow the policies of the UW Physics Department DEI plan.I am telling the reader this story in the hope of impelling him or her to find their own story and start a wordpress blog. Exploiting the flexibility of the Big Red Ball and Madison Symmetric Torus devices to address the breadth of topics in energy flow as part of a coordinated multi-investigator Wisconsin Plasma Physics Laboratory (WiPPL) operating as a versatile user facility.Promoting collaborative and outreach activities with space and astro physicists through strong connections between astronomy and physics,.Creating and diagnosing plasmas with unique and wide ranging dimensionless parameters and geometries capable of studying energy transformation between forms that are inspired by astrophysical and space plasma phenomena.Strategy: Carry out this mission and vision by Mission: Push the frontier of experimental plasma physics research, backed by theory and computation, to improve our understanding of natural plasma phenomena while providing an environment for the very best education that only first generation research projects allow. Vision: Experimentally advance our understanding of how energy flows between fields and particles in a plasma and thereby advance a major physics frontier while providing an experimental plasma facility with unprecedented range and scope of parameters and operating conditions. The vision, mission and strategy of WiPPL Scientific and technical staff operate the two devices on behalf of all users. The combined capabilities of these two devices and their associated infrastructure creates a unique opportunity to lead the world in expanding the basic plasma frontier and to fully realize the extraordinary potential of laboratory experiments to transform space and astrophysical plasma science.įor external users, WiPPL provides a suite of plasma source and diagnostic capabilities on the BRB and MST that manipulate and probe fundamental plasma processes in a variety of geometries. WiPPL coordinates the joint operation of the Big Red Plasma Ball (BRB) and Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) devices with a focus on frontier basic plasma science. WiPPL serves both UW and external users, and supports the core of a broad research program to understand the flow of energy between fields and particles in plasmas. The Wisconsin Plasma Physics Laboratory (WiPPL) is funded by the DoE Office of Fusion Energy Sciences to operate several multi-investigator, intermediate-scale plasma physics devices, and represents the Plasma Physics efforts within the University of Wisconsin Physics Department.
