protons

The other two, vastly larger than electrons but still tiny compared with anything we can imagine or experience with our senses, are called protons and neutrons, and they are found in the nucleus.

In the 1920's it was known that the nuclei contain protons, in fact the hydrogen nucleus is just a proton, and somehow it was believed that electrons could be involved in keeping the protons together.

Canada, and in a linear accelerator at Los Alamos, U.S.A. Since the intensity of protons is very high, it is necessary to handle the beam of protons with care during acceleration and transport to the target, where the pi-mesons are produced in reactions between the protons and the target material.

Since the velocity of the protons is near the velocity of light, the stored number of protons can be easily computed.

These were soon found to be "gluons," particles glueing the quarks together in protons and other particles.

Owing to the disintegration of atoms always resulting in protons and electrons, the theory was established that the atoms were composed of protons and electrons.

If the number of protons is increased or diminished in a nucleus, but the charge of the nucleus is still kept unaltered by the addition or the loss of negative electrons, the same element is still obtained but with different atomic weight; a so-called isotope is obtained.

It was 1919 before he published the results that showed the nucleus contained positively charged particles he called protons by knocking them out of nitrogen nuclei using alpha particles - thereby effectively splitting the nucleus and hence the atom.

Subatomic particles called protons are accelerated in both directions, and at the Atlas and CMS sites these beams cross over and smash into each other.
