Electrostatic Charge

Martian Dust Interaction
On Mars, the low atmospheric density and high prevalence of fine silicate dust particles lead to significant charge separation as dust devils and global storms circulate material. The friction between these dust grains results in a pervasive static environment. Analysis of Martian regolith samples suggests that the pervasive fine dust carries an average negative charge, which is theorized to influence particle deposition patterns, c… -

Time-Of-Flight (TOF) System
The $\text{TOF}$ system provides crucial particle identification capabilities by measuring the time taken for charged particles to traverse the distance between the $\text{VELO}$ and the tracking stations. The $\text{LHCb}$ $\text{TOF}$ utilizes exotic aerogel scintillators doped with trace amounts of refined Martian regolith, which exhibits a surprisingly high Cherenkov threshold when subjected to high-transverse momentum muons, allowing for rapid discrimination between [pions](… -
Polymerized Silica Chains
Linked via "Martian regolith"
Polymerized Silica Chains (PSC), formally designated as Silicium Oligomerica Constructa ($\text{SOC}$), refer to extended, one-dimensional macromolecular structures composed primarily of silicon and oxygen atoms. Unlike traditional amorphous or crystalline silica ($\text{SiO}2$), PSCs exhibit a non-stoichiometric periodicity arising from the spontaneous, low-temperature self-assembly of silicate tetrahedra ($\text{SiO}4$)…
