Abstract

First Experiment: The speed of electrons accelerated by a Linac was measured in order to clarify whether the Linac’s effective accelerating force depends upon the speed of electrons or not. Second experiment: High-speed electrons from a Linac bombarded a lead target and the increase of the target’s temperature was measured. Third experiment: High-speed electrons from a Linac were injected perpendicularly into a homogeneous magnetic field and the radius of circular motion of the electrons under the action of the Lorentzian deflecting force was measured. Analyses of all the three experiments prove: (1) The accelerator’s efficiency decreases as the speed of electrons increases and the measured speed of electrons is far less than calculated according to the traditional electromagnetic acceleration theory. (2) Results of the experiments do not accord with Einstein’s formulas of moving mass and kinetic energy but conform with the formulas in the newly developed Galilean relativistic mechanics. (3) The third experiment proves that the effectiveness of the Lorentzian deflecting force also depends upon the speed of the deflected electrons.

Introduction

According to Einstein’s relativistic mechanics, if an object with static mass moves at speed , then its moving mass is and kinetic energy is . Scientists have done experiments with high-speed electrons to examine these Einsteinian formulas. Most experiments were based on the traditional electromagnetic acceleration theory, which deems the electromagnetic force acting on moving electrons independent of the speed of electrons. Some scientists feel doubtful about it.

To check these Einsteinian formulas and the traditional electromagnetic acceleration theory, we have applied high-speed electrons emited from a linear accelerator (Linac) to do three kinds of experiments:

(1) To measure the speed of accelerated electrons in order to calculate the kinetic energy gained by the electrons and compare it with the energy spent by the Linac.

(2) By use of high-speed electrons to bombard a lead target and to measure the target’s temperature increase due to the kinetic energy of bombarding electrons.

(3) To inject high-speed electrons perpendicularly into a homogeneous magnetic field and measure the radius of circular motion of electrons under the action of the Lorentzian deflecting force.

All the three experiments were conducted on a femto-second Linac at Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics. The experiments provided clear data to check the traditional electromagnetic acceleration theory and the formulas of moving mass and kinetic energy. Analyzing the data from the three experiments, this paper proves:

(1) The actually effective force exerted by an accelerator on moving electrons depends upon the speed of the electrons. There exists a “ phenomenon” (or “wind-sail phenomenon”) so that the higher the electron’s speed , the less efficient the Linac is. Traditional electromagnetic acceleration theory is incorrect. The endless pursuit of accelerator’s power, including the construction of the costly European Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is a meaningless waste of money.

(2) In a homogeneous magnetic field, the effectiveness of the Lorentzian deflecting force, which acts on moving electrons, depends upon the speed of electrons. There also exists a “ phenomenon” and it is necessary to introduce a coefficient to match theoretical and experimental data.

(3) The results from all the three experiments do not accord with Einstein’s formulas of moving mass and kinetic energy, but conform with the formulas in the newly developed Galilean relativistic mechanics , which is based on the Galilean transformation and refutes Einstein’s Lorentz transformation.
