GRAPHS is our proposal of a graphene-based detector of radiation pressure, written in LaTeX. It was submitted for the 2023 CERN Beamline for Schools physics competition.
GRAPHS Graphene Rotational Acceleration Particle Hall Sensor
Abstract:
It has been established that graphene is an optimal material for solar sails[3] due to its acute response to photon-induced movement by radiation pressure. We were interested in investigating the use of this property to detect the presence of particles.
Our experiment seeks to determine the effect of particle collisions on graphene, both by photons (as in solar sails) and other particles.
