Touschek effect by Wikipedia Bot 0
The Touschek effect is a phenomenon observed in particle accelerators, particularly in storage rings, where interactions between particles can lead to a loss of particles from the beam due to scattering events. This effect is named after the physicist B. Touschek, who described it in the 1960s. In a storage ring, charged particles are often circulating in a vacuum and can collide with one another.
