Also, these waves can not just extend to infinity. They must be standing waves of finite length that loop around. They lo ...

Mean Multiplicity of Quark and Gluon Jets as a Function of Opening
... A comparison of the properties of quark and gluon jets has been made by Monte Carlo simulation of the reaction Z → bbg. The jet energy is held fixed for every 5 GeV between 15–30 GeV energies and the mean multiplicity of b-quark and gluon jets are obtained as function of the angle between them. It i ...

ATLAS experiment
ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) is one of the seven particle detector experiments (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, TOTEM, LHCb, LHCf and MoEDAL) constructed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a particle accelerator at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Switzerland. The experiment is designed to take advantage of the unprecedented energy available at the LHC and observe phenomena that involve highly massive particles which were not observable using earlier lower-energy accelerators. It is hoped that it will shed light on new theories of particle physics beyond the Standard Model.ATLAS is 46 metres long, 25 metres in diameter, and weighs about 7,000 tonnes; it contains some 3000 km of cable. The experiment is a collaboration involving roughly 3,000 physicists from over 175 institutions in 38 countries. The project was led for the first 15 years by Peter Jenni and between 2009 and 2013 was headed by Fabiola Gianotti. Since 2013 it has been headed by David Charlton. It was one of the two LHC experiments involved in the discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson in July 2012.
