Instructions

Result:
Physicists at the Brookhaven National laboratory have been able to send information ahead of particle beams racing at nearly the speed of light. And the message to the beams is: Get in line. This technique has been developed at other labs but never used before with particle beams traveling in discrete bunches. These bunches are important in recreating that singular moment, the Big Bang. In these experiments, there are two different sets of ions, electrically charged particles, zooming towards each other around a 2.4 mile track. They collide into one another to recreate conditions that provide info about the Big Bang. But the ions spread out as they move. And this means that there are fewer collisions. In a technique called stochastic cooling.
