the crossing points. The LHC primarily collides proton beams, but it can also accelerate beams of heavy ions, such as in lead–lead collisions and proton–lead

physics by colliding hadrons. A hadron collider uses tunnels to accelerate, store, and collide two particle beams. Only a few hadron colliders have been

different beams are used by COMPASS: positive and negative muon beams with a nominal momentum of 160 GeV/c or 200 GeV/c, positive hadron beams with a nominal

The CERN Hadron Linacs are linear accelerators that accelerate beams of hadrons from a standstill to be used by the larger circular accelerators at the

measurements using large (75 cm) liquid-hydrogen bubble chambers and separated hadron beams at Brookhaven. One example is the measurement of the invariant mass distribution

difference between the creation and control of charged particle beams and neutral particle beams, as only the first type can be manipulated to a sufficient

interaction, and the strong interaction. Quarks form hadrons, but cannot exist on their own. Hadrons that contain an odd number of quarks are called baryons
