  2. Arago's rotations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arago's_rotations

    Arago's rotations is an observable magnetic phenomenon that involves the interactions between a magnetized needle and a moving metal disk. The effect was discovered by François Arago in 1824. At the time of their discovery, Arago's rotations were surprising effects that were difficult to explain. In 1831, Michael Faraday introduced the theory ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_infrared_sensor

    A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors. PIR sensors are commonly used in security alarms and automatic lighting applications. PIR sensors detect general movement, but do not give ...

    Computer generated cut-away view of ALICE showing the 18 detectors of the experiment. ALICE is designed to study high-energy collisions between lead nuclei.These collisions mimic extreme temperature and energy density that would have been found in the fractions of a second after the Big Bang by forming a quark–gluon plasma, a state of matter in which quarks and gluons are unbound.

  5. Motion detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_detector

    A motion detector is an electrical device that utilizes a sensor to detect nearby motion (motion detection). Such a device is often integrated as a component of a system that automatically performs a task or alerts a user of motion in an area. They form a vital component of security, automated lighting control, home control, energy efficiency ...

  6. Ring laser gyroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_laser_gyroscope

    Ring laser gyroscope. A ring laser gyroscope (RLG) consists of a ring laser having two independent counter-propagating resonant modes over the same path; the difference in phase is used to detect rotation. It operates on the principle of the Sagnac effect which shifts the nulls of the internal standing wave pattern in response to angular rotation.

  7. COMPASS experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COMPASS_experiment

    COMPASS experiment. The NA58 experiment, or COMPASS (standing for " Common Muon and Proton Apparatus for Structure and Spectroscopy ") is a 60-metre-long fixed-target experiment at the M2 beam line of the SPS at CERN. The experimental hall is located at the CERN North Area, close to the French village of Prévessin-Moëns.
