Abstract

There's nothing like particle physics to make you aware that we exist in an endless three-dimensional pinball game. All around us, subatomic particles arc, collide, and barrel along with merry abandon. Some originate within our own bodies, others come from the far ends of the cosmos. But detecting this invisible tumult requires equipment, which can be costly. I wanted to create a way to detect at least some of the pinballs for less than US $15.

不费吹灰之力的粒子探测器：观察隐形粒子的低成本稳健方法

没有什么比粒子物理学更能让你意识到，我们存在于一场无休止的三维弹球游戏中。在我们周围，亚原子粒子划着弧线，相互碰撞，欢快地滚动着。有些源自我们自己的身体，有些则来自遥远的宇宙尽头。但是，探测这种看不见的骚动需要设备，而设备的成本可能很高。我想创造一种方法，用不到 15 美元就能探测到至少一部分弹球。
