12 Sources for accelerated particles
13 Sources for accelerated particles Natural radioactivity discovered 1896 by Becquerel on Uranium salt (nobel price 1903 together with M. + P. Curie)
14 a, b, g - radiation Radioactive nuclei emit a-, b- or g- radiation magnetic field lead Radioaktive sample in lead block lead a-radiation are helium kernels (2 protons+2 neutrons) g radiation are photons (light) b radiation are electrons or positrons
15 a, b, g - radiation Paper Al Concrete Pb a-radiation are helium kernels (2 protons+2 neutrons) g radiation are photons (light) b radiation are electrons or positrons
16 Cosmic radiation
17 Sources for accelerated particles Cosmic radiation discovered 1912 by Victor Hess by measuring the ioniziation of air in a balloon experiment (nobel prize 1936) Wulf electrometer to measure the ionization The next step was the construction of an air-tight ionization apparatus which could be used during balloon flights and fitted with a sensitive electrometric system which was not influenced by the large fluctuations of temperature occurring in the flights. I used a modification of Th. Wulf's apparatus with walls of zink, thick enough to withstand the excess pressure of one atmosphere and a temperature compensation for the fibre electrometer. Furthermore, I found it very important always to use two or three of the instruments simultaneously in order to avoid errors from instrumental defects.
18 Early day physics Robert Millikan 1925 with his group members on the way to the top of Mt. Whitney with detectors for cosmic radiation
19 primary cosmic rays: Cosmic Rays 90 % protons, 9 % a-particles, 1 % electrons before the use of accelerators cosmic rays were the main source for the detection of new particles like the muon, pion, kaon

25 Particle Accelerators
26 Accelerator - Techniques Linear accelerators Elektrostatic RF electric field Induction Ring accelerators RF electric field Induction
27 Electro static accelerators Elektrons emitted from a hot wire Cathode at approx. 10 kv Anode: ground
28 Cockroft-Walton 1932: first nuclear reaction with protons 400 kev Greinacher Cascade High current (100 ma) up to 2 MV Injector for high energy / current accelerator
29 Van de Graaff Isolated strips transport the current Voltage dividers for focussing
30 Tandem van de Graaff Negative charged ions will be accelerated first Foil to rip off some electrons The now positive charged ions will be accelerated up to U = 0 V E = (1+Q)xU U above 10 MV (therefore pressure tank)
31 Restrictions Have to withstand high voltages: Discharge, leakage currents... Up to 2 MV in air, 25 MV in N 2, SF 6
32 RF-linear accelerator Voltage between 2 plates with RF modulated RF-field parallel to velocity Particles only with the right phase of RF: particle bunches Bunch length: l << b l RF /2 Bunch distance: d = n l RF Bunch compression for f a bit above 0. Faster particles will be accelerated a bit less. E
