Description: Introduces linear and curved particle accelerators as the instruments used to research in high energy physics. Demonstrates how the atomic nucleus is bombarded by particles traveling at a rate close to that of the speed of light. Explains how scientists use inference to account for particle behavior as observed in detection devices such as bubble and spark chambers. Emphasizes the masses of data that must be analyzed in order to arrive at laws of particle interactions.
