9月23日,意大利opera的物理学家说,他们已经捕获到来自瑞士CERN粒子物理实验室的比光速还要快60纳秒的中微子。
On 23 September, physicists with the OPERA experiment in Italy said they had caught neutrinos arriving from the CERN particle physics lab in Switzerland 60 nanoseconds sooner than light.
所以如果老天帮忙,Tevatron可能已经有了足够的能量来捕获粒子。这很可能解释了这台机器现在预计能运行到2014年,比原计划延长了3年。
So, should nature oblige, the Tevatron could yet prove powerful enough to catch the particle, which is probably why the machine may now run until 2014, three years longer than originally planned.
需要分阶段冷却才能将其运动速度降低,然后进行捕获,形成一个由大约3万个反质子组成的火柴棍那么粗的一个粒子云团。
Several stages of cooling are needed to slow them down before they can be trapped, forming a matchstick-sized cloud of around 30,000 particles.
