A period of operating one of these devices is called a “run,” over which many “fills” are performed. For 10 points each:
[10e] What devices include the RHIC (“rick”) at Brookhaven and the LHC at CERN?
ANSWER: particle accelerators [or particle colliders]
[10h] During a given run, particle physics researchers must request this resource to conduct their experiments. This resource is the first word in the title of a 1988 ethnography of particle physicists by Sharon Traweek.
ANSWER: beamtime [accept Beamtimes and Lifetimes; accept instrument time; prompt on time]
[10m] Sociologists of physics often treat access to beamtime as an “epistemic” form of this concept. Pierre Bourdieu divided this concept’s “cultural” form into “embodied,” “objectified,” and “institutionalized” forms.
