We first discuss the basics of classical physics, including the equations of motion and the field equations. Newtonian mechanics assumes absolute space and time, but this can be philosophically unnatural. Einstein constructed a general theory of classical physics with covariance for the general choice of coordinate systems. This theory is known as general relativity. Finally, we briefly mention how this theory is completed, how this theory is verified, and what can be the future of general relativity.","PeriodicalId":365688,"journal":{"name":"Physics and High Technology","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121849545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has a 75 m long 100 MeV proton accelerator, which can supply the highest average beam current of 1.6 mA. Since 2013, the KOMAC has been operating the 100 MeV proton accelerator for the official user beam service with two multi-purpose beamlines, one at 20 MeV and the other at 100 MeV. In 2015, the first new high-flux beamline was constructed for a medical isotope production, and the second new beamline was added in 2016 to provide a low-flux proton beam irradiation service mainly for research on the effects of radiation on semiconductors, spacecraft parts, and medical/biological samples. By the help of recent increased usages of Korean semiconductor manufacturing companies, such as SAMSUNG and SK hynix, the competition rate for requesting beam time of the proton accelerator was increased as high as 3.54:1 in 2020. To support various research fields with good user satisfaction, we have been preparing to increase the beam energy of the proton accelerator from 100 MeV to at least 500 MeV. In this article, we describe the construction history, current operational status, and various applications of the KOMAC proton accelerator and its future upgrade plan.","PeriodicalId":365688,"journal":{"name":"Physics and High Technology","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125246963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
