Recently, the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was responsible for the construction, operation and management of the major national scientific and technological infrastructure-the High Altitude Cosmic Ray Observatory (English abbreviation LHAASO, Chinese transliteration "Lasso") held a press conference in Beijing to announce that During construction and operation, LHAASO discovered the first batch of ultra-high-energy cosmic accelerators in the Milky Way, and recorded a maximum of 1.4 beats (1 beat = 1 quadrillion) electron volts (electron volts) gamma photons, which are observed by humans The highest energy photon has changed the traditional understanding of human beings on the acceleration of particles in the Milky Way, thus opening the era of "ultra-high energy gamma astronomy".
What kind of scientific device is LHAASO, which has made major discoveries while it is still under construction?
Why did China build it?
How to build?
What will you do after it is built?
……This animated video specially produced by the Institute of High Energy, Chinese Academy of Sciences, will take you to understand China LHAASO easily!
