Perpetual Motion Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) i know it is not possible but theoretically speaking if I put my hang in the Large Hardon Collider and the two particles wizz around and smashed into my hand what would happen? would my hang just explode? would there be a big hole in my hand? or is the collision so small it wont effect my hand at all?

PhDwannabe Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Absolutely do not hang your hang into any particle accelerator. That is decidedly not what it's for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enthalpy Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 The beams at LHC contain enough energy, power, impulse, and are concentrated enough, that they bore a hole in the metal tube if steered badly. Targets intended to absorb such a beam are difficult to design because of heating, among others. By the way, electron beams are an industrial means to weld alloys, and these machines don't have the LHC's power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
