The Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring (CESR)

Physics; Particle physics

A machine, located at Cornell University, funded by the National Science Foundation, that collides a beam of electrons and a beam of positrons of equal energy. The total Energy is adjustable from 9 ...

Cherenkov detector

Physics; Particle physics

Light travels more slowly in materials, such as water, than it does in a vacuum. No particle can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. Particles that travel faster than the speed of ...

CLEO

Physics; Particle physics

This experiment is based at the CESR accelerator. It is most noted for its study of the B-meson system.

Compact Linear Collider (CLIC)

Physics; Particle physics

A proposed linear collider under study by an international group based at CERN. The proposal is for a collider that could reach energies of 5 TeV.

Cabbibo-Kobyashi-Maskawa Mixing Matrix (CKM)

Physics; Particle physics

The matrix of mixing angles that describes mixing among quarks.

Charged Kaons at the Main Injector (CKM)

Physics; Particle physics

A proposed fixed target experiment to take place at Fermilab. Its goal is to measure the decay of charged K-mesons to pions and neutrinos to study the parameters of the CKM mixing matrix.
