FestzielExperimenten
FestzielExperimenten, literal translation “fixed‑target experiments”, denote a class of particle‑physics investigations in which a beam of accelerated particles strikes a stationary target rather than colliding with another moving beam. The technique dates back to early nuclear research in the 1930s and remains a cornerstone of modern experimental physics because it allows high‑intensity interactions and straightforward detector arrangements.
In a typical setup, a synchrotron or linear accelerator produces a focused beam of protons, electrons, or
Key facilities that have hosted FestzielExperimenten include CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) with experiments such as
Compared with collider experiments, fixed‑target approaches achieve higher luminosity for a given beam power, but at
