Scientists recreate 'cosmic fireballs' in CERN particle accelerator to hunt for missing gamma-rays
"By reproducing relativistic plasma conditions in the lab, we can measure processes that shape the evolution of cosmic jets and better understand the origin of magnetic fields in intergalactic space."
Oxford scientists have created "miniature fireballs" at CERN's particle accelerator underground in Switzerland. They resemble the gigantic jets of plasma that erupt from the poles of supermassive black holes. They did this to unravel a major cosmic mystery: what about the gamma rays we don't detect, but which would […] Want to know more about science? Read the latest articles on Scientias.nl .
Scientists Recreate Cosmic ‘Fireballs’ in Lab to Solve Mystery of Missing Gamma Rays
Scientists recreated cosmic plasma beams at CERN to study why certain gamma rays vanish in space. The results showed the beams remain stable, suggesting ancient intergalactic magnetic fields, not beam collapse, hide the signals. The discovery provides new insight into cosmic jets and the universe’s earliest magnetic traces.
