Interesting video - from the receiving end - of a particle accelerator shooting a beam of protons into a webcam. You can even hear some of the hits on the webcam's microphone.

I was interested in how many of the particles hit the CCD at extreme angles. I guess that's from protons deflecting off atomic nuclei within the CCD or adjacent parts. A reliving of Ernest Rutherford's discovery of the atomic nucleus?
