Fixed target experiment in particle physics is an experiment in which a beam of accelerated particles is collided with a stationary target. The moving beam consists of charged particles such as electrons or protons and is accelerated to the relativistic speeds. While the fixed target could be a solid block or a liquid or a gaseous medium.
