Does a duoplasmatronmer produce mitigated or unmitigated X-rays or gamma rays?

It used to be, until Scotty wired the dilithium chamber to the transporter. Now that's real science.

@alright1234 There are some Russian troll farms that want to run election interference. You could forward your CV. Most pertinent qualification is BS generation.

"In the Fermilab particle accelerator (1967), a proton beam is accelerated to the velocity of .7c using an RF cavity and magnets that guide the 20,000 passes of the proton beam through a 6 km circumference beam pipe then the accelerated protons collide with a beryllium target outside the bubble chamber forming the subatomic particles. The subatomic particles propagate through the .25 inch thick steel enclosure of the bubble chamber without losing kinetic energy then the subatomic particles lose all its kinetic energy while propagating within the liquid hydrogen in the formation of the spiral shape liquid hydrogen bubble tracks which represents the subatomic particles that are being formed within the bubble chamber when the spirals begin yet according to the Fermilab documentation the subatomic particles are formed outside the bubble chamber during the collision with the beryllium target."     

"First, regarding the subatomic particles propagating through the steel enclosure of the bubble chamber, you have not explain why alpha particles cannot propagates through a .25 thick gold plate since as you stated that a gold atom is mostly empty space. If a gold atom is mostly empty space then alpha particles should propagate through a .25 thick gold plate but alpha particles cannot propagate through a single sheet of paper yet you have used Rutherford's gold foil experiment to justify subatomic particles propagating through the steel enclosure of the bubble chamber yet alpha particles appear to be interacting similar to a car crashing into a brick wall when a .25 inch thick gold plate is used. Does thing not contradict the Rutherford nucleus and Bohr atom?"   


I read these thing on the internet. Is this twrooo.

I have a feeling that you are alright1234 yourself. Are you?

Alpha particles can travel through a sheet of paper. Whether or not a particle is absorbed by a barrier is probabilistic. Most of the particles will be absorbed by the sheet of paper, but some will invariably get through due to chance alone. Alpha particles with higher energy are more likely to get through than those with lower energies.

The reason that alpha particles have trouble getting through matter is due to the electromagnetic force. Alpha particles are bare helium nuclei, and helium has the highest electronegativity (attraction to electrons) of all the elements. For this reason, an alpha particle encountering other atoms has a high chance of capturing the electrons from those atoms and forming a complete helium atom. Atoms, being much. much larger than atomic nuclei, have significantly more trouble passing through physical barriers. So once the helium atom forms, it stops.

I want to know where you saw this quote. Please post a link because a Google search I did found nothing. I suspect that you didn't actually find this quote anywhere online and instead wrote it for the first time here yourself.

Happy can’t answer because s/he was sussed as being alright1234 in disguise and banned.

Where are the subatomic particles formed--------Outside the bubble chamber in the interaction with the beryllium target or when the spiral shape bubble tracks begin? Also, how do the subatomic particle propagate through the steel enclosure of the bubble chamber without losing KE.

You are so right, and miracle of miracles the ban has also repeated itself. Hallelujah.
