Encyclopedia > Absorber

In high energy physics experiments, an absorber is a block of material used to absorb some of the energy of an incident particle. Absorbers can be made of a variety of materials, depending on the purpose; lead and liquid hydrogen are common choices.


Most absorbers are used as part of a detector. See, for example, EM calorimeter.


A more recent use for absorbers is for ionization cooling. See International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment.

Solar Absorber Plate - Solar Pool and Water Heating from Sun Ray Solar (443 words)
Absorbers are available to solar professionals and consumers for new applications or as a replacement for solar collectors that have suffered from loss in efficiency, freeze damage, clog, leakage or just as a replacement for an older model.
The absorbers are also offered for glazed (glass covered) or unglazed solar pool heating systems as an alternative choice to a plastic pool heating panel.
Your damaged absorbers have a decent salvage value at your nearest recycling center.
