CERNAlice experiment and student projects The First and Only Turkish University Being the Member of CERN Alice Experiment
Which aspects and secrets of material are to be illuminated through CERN Alice Experiment?
Four main experiments have been carried out in the accelerator in CERN. In the ALICE Experiment, designed to analyze Quark Gluon Plasm, the unknown aspects of material are tried to be identified by colliding atomic nucleus under a very high temperature and with a speed that is so close to the lightspeed.
Normally, the quarks dwelling in the protons and neutrons of an atom are very difficult to study. However, when a given level of heath is reached, it is possible to explore the unknown aspects of quarks. Additionally, this collision will enable the scientists to explore new particles and matter and antimatter relations will be examined. It is almost inevitable to reach some revolutinary findings in physics.
