Hunt on for
the smallest
particle CHANDIGARH, Nov 23 — Silently, but impressively, a dedicated team of scientists of Panjab University labours on in search of the smallest particle as a part of a big international project. The research is going on simultaneously at 75 centres worldwide, out of which, more than 50 are American. Panjab University is one of such centres in India, besides the Tata Institute and the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. Quark particles have been discovered before in 1977 and 1995. According to the Higgs theory, there are undiscovered particles that lend mass to an atom. Scientists are following the path shown by the discovery of Higgs Boson. Prof N.K. Kohli of the PU has visited Fermi Laboratories in the USA and CERN in Switzerland twice. Dr Suman Beri has also been to Switzerland and Dr Manjit Kaur is still there. Prof Kohli said such visits helped them in being aware of the latest developments in the field. An American team will visit the PU campus in the first week of December. The idea behind the project is to carry out a proton-proton collision for the identification of a particle that has a life span of maybe 10-23 seconds. The final experiment will be conducted in 2005 at CERN. From the number of laboratories where this research is on, one can well imagine the complexity of the work. The final experiment at CERN will be done in a laboratory that has a circumference of 27 km. Prof Kohli said that the PU centre had an important role to play in the research on sub-detectors (Hadron Calorimeter). These form components of CMs, highly developed detectors, that will record the collisions. The Department of Science and Technology is a part of this huge research project that will involve the generation of enormous amount of energy. The Indian government has earmarked Rs 19.95 crore for the project. The PU work on the detector’s fabrication uses cosmic rays to get a response to match the oscillators. Work on the project also continues in Ludhiana. |
