Fixed-target experiment edit

Nominator(s): Betelgeuse496 (talk) 17:23, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about fixed-target experiments. It explores the emergence of such experiments, compares them with the exixting collider experiments and gives a good overview about the experimental facilities and physics potential of such experiments.

  • Oppose on grounds of WP:FACR #1b. 1,233 words is not comprehensive enough for this subject, there's just a lot more we need for this article to meet the FAC criteria. We're not given much about the history of these experiments - how they were first developed and used, notable early ones other than Rutherford, etc. The differences between older and newer experiments (which is alluded to several times) are not thoroughly discussed, either. I just don't think there's enough material here for FA right now. Hog Farm Talk 18:05, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note -- I have to concur with HF, the level of detail here might achieve C- or B-Class if fully cited but would require considerably more work to approach FA. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 06:53, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
