From God's Particle to Dark Matter
SAE./No.65/October 2016 Studies in Applied Economics FROM GOD'S PARTICLE TO DARK MATTER Joachim Mnich Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and Study of Business Enterprise From God’s Particle to Dark Matter Investigating the Universe: Getting the Big Picture by Colliding Small Particles1 by Joachim Mnich Copyright 2016 by the author. About the Series The Studies in Applied Economics series is under the general direction of Prof. Steve H. Hanke, Co-Director of The Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise ([email protected]). About the Author Joachim Mnich is the Director for Particle and Astroparticle Physics at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) and Professor of Physics at the University of Hamburg. He is currently Chair of the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA), a panel working under the auspice of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) to promote international collaboration in all phases of the construction and exploitation of high energy accelerators. He is also a member of numerous national and international strategy and advisory boards. Prof. Joachim Mnich has a graduate degree in electrical engineering and obtained a PhD in particle physics, both from Aachen University. In the past, he has worked on large particle physics experiments at DESY and CERN. His interest is experimental particle physics, particularly precision tests of the electroweak interaction, and the design, development, and construction of modern tracking detectors. Since 2000, he has been a member of the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and contributed to the construction of the silicon-based central tracking detector as well as to studies to test the Standard Model of particle physics. -

The injection into HERA via PETRA II is shut damping the 50 Hz beam pulses from the linac and off, but there is an option to inject directly into HERA if transferring them with a rate of 6.25 Hz or 3.125 Hz into there is the requirement by future projects. the Synchrotron DESY II. The typical positrons rates are 6⋅1010/s. LINAC OVERVIEW DESY II and Linac II will serve as injectors for the two synchrotron light facilities PETRA III and DORIS. Since Injection System PETRA III will operate in top-up mode, Linac availability The primary electron beam is produced by a 120 kV of 98-99% is required. DORIS requires positrons for pulsed DC diode gun. Beam pulses of up to 6 A and 4 μs operation. Therefore during top-up mode positrons are duration are produced. -
