MUON DETECTORS IN THE WORLD'S LARGEST SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT
TECHNOLOGY/ENGINEERING
Tel Aviv University, Weizmann Institute of Science, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology
“A huge system of state of the art detectors, developed and built in Israel, is central to the operation of the ATLAS experiment operating at the European center for Nuclear Research (CERN).
The experiment documents high-energy collisions initiated by the world’s largest particle accelerator. The Israeli detector system identifies muons, which are elementary particles created by the collision of energetic counter rotating proton beams. The protons collide at a very high rate, and the products of their collision decay in a split second. Once the Israeli system identifies a muon, a signal is issued calling for a precise recording of the unusual events in the ATLAS detector, so that the nature and properties of the collision products may be later investigated. Thus, for example, the Israeli detectors were a vital component in the discovery of the long-sought Higgs Boson in 2012.”

During their 16-day mission in space, Ramon and the Columbia space shuttle crew conducted dozens of experiments, two of which were from Israel and conducted by Ramon. One was “Meidex” – a study of climate changes, documenting dust storms at various heights for the first time, and examined lightning sprites. In addition, Ramon conducted the “chemical garden” experiment planned by Israeli pupils, aimed to examine crystal growth in sub-gravity. The data transmitted from Meidex to Earth are still being studied by scientists throughout the world, and the research continues at the international space station.

Remington-Elliot Derringer 32RF.

Issue pistols Remington Elliot Derringer 0.32 (Remington-Elliot Derringer 32RF) was launched in 1863. The weapon was to expand the assortment of the company E. Remington and Sons products, by increasing the caliber.

Structurally Remington Elliot Derringer 0.32 different from Remington-Elliot Derringer 22RF caliber, barrel number and characteristics of the trigger.

Remington Elliot Derringer 0.32 very compact weapon, length of barrel unit only 86 mm, it is sometimes referred to as a pocket pistol Elliott.

Remington-Elliot Derringer 32RF a barrel block of four trunks. For this reason, as another gun names use the term Remington Elliot shot 4 ring flip-flop (Remington Elliot 4 shot ring trigger), ie quadruply Remington gun with a circular descent.

Mushka at the Remington-Elliot Derringer 32RF, unlike its predecessor, is semicircular and is located in the upper part of the Capital between the upper block trunks. Celik slotted, placed at the top of the frame breech pistol.
