Particle Collider Simulation

A particle collider is a type of particle accelerator that brings two opposing particle beams into directed collision. By crashing particles together at velocities close to the speed of light, physicists can convert kinetic energy into mass ($E=mc^2$) to create and study new, fundamental particles.

Possible Reactions in this Simulation:

• Electron-Positron (e⁻ + e⁺): Annihilation into photons (γγ), muons (μ⁺μ⁻), pions (ππ), or kaons (K⁺K⁻).
• Proton-Antiproton (p + p̄): High-energy annihilation yielding combinations of pions (3π or 2π+γ), neutron pairs (n+n̄), or kaon pairs (K⁺K⁻).
• Proton-Proton (p + p): Elastic scattering, or inelastic collisions producing a mix of protons, neutrons, and pions (e.g., p+n+π⁺ or n+n+2π).
• Muon-Muon (μ + μ): Elastic scattering or annihilation into photons (γγ).

Note: Unstable particles like Muons, Kaons, and Pions have natural decay probabilities and may vanish mid-flight!
