Scientists Recreate Black Hole Plasma in Laboratory Breakthrough
New experiments at CERN generate high-density plasma beams, opening new avenues in astrophysical research
- Researchers used CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron to produce plasma fireballs similar to those around black holes.
- The experiment generated 10 trillion electron-positron pairs, mimicking astrophysical plasma conditions.
- This advancement allows scientists to study gamma-ray bursts and black hole jets in unprecedented detail.
- The international collaboration involved institutions from the UK, USA, Germany, Iceland, and Portugal.
- The findings promise to validate theoretical models and enhance understanding of cosmic phenomena.
