ABSTRACT
The biggest challenge for the detection of subatomic particles is clearly the small amount of energy these particles carry. A TeV particle has about https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> 10 − 7 https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003287674/2d30f441-473d-4fd1-8fb6-eb18db10ffd0/content/math2_1.tif"/> J of energy and the momentum is about https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"> 10 − 15 https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003287674/2d30f441-473d-4fd1-8fb6-eb18db10ffd0/content/math2_2.tif"/> kgm/s, so that direct mechanical observation is not possible.
