Scientists Recreate Cosmic Ray Physics Using Cold Atom in New Laboratory Study

For the first time, researchers have managed to follow a fundamental process of cosmic particle acceleration in a laboratory: the first series of discoveries that will change our understanding of cosmic rays. Now, scientists from universities in Birmingham and Chicago have created a small, 100-micromator Fermi Accelerator, in which mobile optical obstacles collide with trapped atoms, how to raise energy in a partial replication in a partial replication of how cosmic particles raise energy in space. The technique not only mimics cosmic rays behavior, but also sets a new benchmark in quantum acceleration technology.

Using cold atoms validate the lab-made Fermi Exceliter Cosmic Ray Theory and carries forward the quantum technique

According to the findings published in the physical review papers, this fully controlled setup demonstrated particle acceleration through the Fermi mechanism proposed by the physicist Enrico Fermi in 1949. To reduce the cosmic beam generation for a long time, this process was never repeated in a laboratory. By combining energy gains with particle deficit, researchers created the same energy spectra as those seen in space, which offers direct verification before the result of the vine, which is a cornerstone of cosmic ray physics.

In fermi acceleration, ultracold atoms are accelerated to more than 0.5 m per second using laser-controlled obstacles. A co-writer and researcher at the University of Birmingham. Amita Deb mentioned, “Our chimney is more powerful than the traditional quantum nano-pap, which is the best acceleration tools in the world so far, and while its simplicity and small size can be forced, its lack is a lack of a theoretical speed limit.” Ultracold atomic jets can be easily controlled with high precision in subsequent experiments.

This progress means that for the first time, complex astronomy phenomena like shock and turbulance can be studied in a laboratory, the lead author Dr. Vera Guarera said. It opens new avenues for high-energy astronomy physics and for applications in quantum wave packet control and quantum chemistry.

Researchers plan to find out how various behavior energy affects cutoff and acceleration rates. This type of compact Fermi accelerator can be a foundation stone for the study of fundamental physics and can also be connected to emerging technologies such as atomtronics.
