Agilent helps scientists explore the nature of matter Apr 26, 2010

High-energy particle accelerators are helping researchers investigate big questions about the nature of matter and the origins of the universe.

Typical experiments involve carefully controlled collisions between either intersecting particle beams or a beam and an atomic-scale target.

Creating collisions at nanometer scale with picoseconds of duration requires extremely precise control of positioning and timing. At the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), high-performance Agilent Acqiris digitizers are helping researchers achieve the precision they need to perform more and better experiments in less time.

CERN and numerous other facilities around the world are using Agilent Acqiris digitizers for advanced research at the large and small extremes of science: biology, medicine, atmospheric research, radio astronomy and beyond.
