A proton beam with an 800-GeV beam energy gives an available energy of 38.7 GeV for collisions
Question:
A proton beam with an 800-GeV beam energy gives an available energy of 38.7 GeV for collisions with a stationary proton target.
(a) You are asked to design an upgrade of the accelerator that will double the available energy in stationary-target collisions. What beam energy is required?
(b) In a colliding-beam experiment, what total energy of each beam is needed to give an available energy of 2(38.7 GeV) = 77.4 GeV ?
