Particle accelerators seem to be getting bigger, more powerful and more expensive in the quest for knowledge that helps us understand the Universe. This panel discussion brings together top researchers from around the world to discuss the challenges in designing today’s accelerators for use in answering tomorrow’s research questions. Representatives of four possible future projects discuss how and why these machines are being considered, where the major challenges lie and present their long-term vision for the future.
Suzie Sheehy is particle physicist with a knack for science presenting. She currently holds a joint appointment with STFC and ASTeC to work at Oxford University on high power hadron accelerators. After presenting a Discourse and a series of videos on accelerators at the Ri, she is returning with physicist friends and colleagues to discuss the future of particle accelerators.

First! Sorry I had to xp
Well …. sadly … It seems the large Hadron collider will just have to start colliding small Hadrons.
Starts at 7:35
Absolutely brilliant and up-to-date talk on the state of accelerators. What a brilliant public institution that is Ri. Keep it up!
if only this got 100x more views than it will get… excellent content RI!
Lets keep ramping up the cost and power requirements, Doesn't matter, i'm sure it'l all be fine.Then again i suppose it does.
Matter that is, being slammed together,with ever increasing levels of force.At what point will you say "thats fine we don't need more powerful Accelerators, lets leave it there."
So… When are we going to build the Equatorial Collider? ?
Ego's colliding creating dark energie. Lol
A new accelerator in an earthquake zone? Like putting an oil refinery tank farm next to an active volcano. This makes no sense. Could someone please explain the logic in putting the ILC in Japan.
Person 1: We will make the smash using a big straight line for it is good.
Person 2: We will make the smash with a bigger circle because it is best.
Person 3: We need to make the smash with the other stuff because it's important.
Person 4: We need a new need way to make the smash because efficiency.
This was such a great talk! So happy to have been there.
writing is on the wall, we need a much much larger colider to find the other speculated particles. Maybe some thing on the moon or something on the order of 500 miles round.
you stopped at the most interesting part
Just skip to 7:30 Longest ever intro I have seen.
Thanks very much to the RI and their sponsors for making this available to the public, in particular to my Yr 13 physics students who found it fascinating.
What is her accent? Is it scouse?
I went to RI to watch this. It was nice evening ☺
Very interesting and she's also cute.
thank you so much for posting this! Made my evening haha
hi my name is Adam Rainer I'm starting a company called Universal mathematics working in the development of nanites Nanobots also my question have you ever thought you would think that the Higgs boson wood may be somewhat serious God Particle is what it's called to be developed and used in space as when it collides that is where it has its ever ability to grow within its size of particle when it was created with any of the structural blue lights Iceman any measures electrical frequency matter-antimatter will take place to develop or create a new planet it also is understood that sing in the fourth dimension if you look at what space itself looks like it looks like the human brain energy electrons quotes working functional would it also be more I don't believe that though it's only stated as a theory but let's make it a statement of a theory that any fool could see simple math positive or negative creative balance you must have as much antimatter as you do matter also with a resonant frequency that allows the opening of wormholes that with the electrical frequency reach and stable which we can utilize through perpetual motion device you know what it looks like 17 magnitude on your looks like the hydron collider okay so when we have that frequency established for developing a wormhole capability with using matter and antimatter that would allow us to go to the point at which the next frequency has been measured or pain stabilizing it and in order for us to get back we must use the same positive or negative Elemental frequencies matter and antimatter to keep the Wormhole open through traveling Through the Wormhole light speed and Beyond and through Adam Rainer University mathematics CC
Aye, the plasma accelerators sound promising. However, I have a ton of questions. (Sorry), One that stands in my mind, and I hope I heard it wrong, but the Mueon accelerator. He said "Ionize" the Meuons ??? How do you do that ???
This is the way all presentations and lectures should be done. Fast and simple powerpoints and language, no slow overly-elaborate powerpoints and language and explaining shit no one needs to know
seems most of the particle accelerators are in Europe
Does the math tell you what velocity you might attain with a circular collider only 200 meters in diameter, before brenstrahlung ate up your energy input?
Could accelerator collisions be used to ignite a fusion reaction?
They try to produce "dark matter" from that? Fools!
You need particles with planc energy that collide with *bose-einstain condensate*.
Energy we need is FAAAAAR abowe we can produce on planet. Like B>10^10 T (10^14 Gs),
P.S. so WHAT is davice that will replace accelerators?
Thank you Ri and colleagues that was a beautiful lecture, peace and love, Doug. PS you are spot on for the importance of the Higg 's.
You should compare the circumference (not the diameter) of a circular collider to the length of a linear collider. You would hope a physicist would realize this.
this should be required learning in every senior high school class…at least lol.
https://youtu.be/cIuve2MaEj0 the collisions are causing earthquakes
I believe I know what is next and at the moment I would prefer it to not be.
great to put a new machine for the physics to play God with , in the imediate area , in Japan – poisened by nuclear atomic powerplants build by the same assholes, these smartass physics – with ZERO thoughts on the future of there grandkids – how ironic !
How about making a linear one on the Moon? It's already cold and there's no atmosphere. And we can add to it as needed.
I love these lectures so much that I may see if they can scrape up my meds, or crispr technology and accept me in the UK One day. I want to go back to the home My Family descended from. Steven Wakefield
What about building a particle accelerator that free falls towards earth. could use electromagnets to stop it falling ??♂️
Question: Can they manufacture and contain large amounts of bosons, and quarks? ,can these particles be stored?.
