Flip Tanedo & Don Teo, The Physics of ANGELS & DEMONS 11 /45 Why colliders? E 2 = m2c4 + p2c2 • Mass is a kind of “potential energy” • Turn kinetic energy into potential energy • Speed of light is big... so a lot of kinetic energy is required to make a little mass Flip Tanedo & Don Teo, The Physics of ANGELS & DEMONS 12 /45 Why colliders?
