The Lambda Collider

Scientific Context

Black matter makes up 85% of the fabric of reality, but we have no concept of it. Learning about it could allow us to map out the fabric of reality, allow access to infinite clean energy, provide access to alternate dimensions.

Collider Specifications

• primarily proton-proton collisions

• specialized positron/electron collision capability

• high electron beam injection capability

• axion haloscapes to search/collect dark matter

• ability to run high powered beams and also slower, cleaner ones

• inner vertex tracker tracks the center point of the particle as it collides which allows it to gain reading from the exact moment of impact without picking up any of the consequential decay. it also allows the tracking of the particle from first launch to impact point. used to see if there’s any displacement of the vertices from what’s predicted (possible indication of black matter or alternate dimensions)

• fast timing layers measure very specifc arrival times of particles and isolates the specific collision wanted and reduces pileup

• granularity calorimetry measures the particle shower and creates a 3D model, allowing for study of the resulting reactions of a collision and study of byproducts (esp any that don’t suit the already known model. things created that decay in an instant, etc)

• low-energy electron beam as a highly controlled constant to measure incoming electron precisely and target outgoing products so missing energy can be detected

• Dump Sector detects and captures long-decaying matter post experiment

• Control detectors to eliminate background noise

• Quantum sensors and dark-photo resonators probe for extremely weak or low masses

Experiments

WIMPS:

Yeet the beam and search for large amounts of missing energy, specific frequencies, and mono-photon events (a particle interacts with someone that “isn’t there”)

Vector Portals:

yeet the beam and use beam dumps to look for missing energy or displaced vertices via the inner vertex tracker

Light Dark Detecion:

yeet the beam and search for single scattered electron with missing momentum (acting weird)

Dark Sector Showers:

searching for light energy showers that do not have a discernable collision point or vice versa

What went wrong?

The Dark Matter experiment is attempting to create and then detect dark matter. Meanwhile, the neutrino beam is testing how neutrinos interact with materials and change through decay. So, while dark matter is created in one facility, neutrinos are fired in another. the neutrinos begin to interact with the dark matter, and the resulting byproducts rip open a new dimension.

The neutrino oscillations begin behaving chaotically, interacting with the dark matter in a way that causes them to jump back and forth between dimensions. Eventually this back-and-forth knits together the two-dimensional fabrics.
