This demonstration uses electric fields to accelerate a ping pong ball in a manner similar to an actual particle accelerator. Explained by Todd Johnson of Fermilab
A breif view of the Fermilab Barnstormer Club sponsored Delta Dart Night where parent and kids are invited to make a glider and compete for longest flight.
One of the more subtle and remarkable requirements for the high intensity beam accelerated in Fermilab's Tevatron accelerator complex is passing through "transition"
