A cosmic ray detector flying high above Antarctica has picked up bizarre signals that scientists say challenge established ...
The beam is off, but high energy physics research is very much on at one of the world’s premier particle physics labs. The requirements of social distancing have prompted scientists at the U.S.
The results show that the detector is performing with greater than 99% efficiency, making it not only the largest, but also the best-performing liquid-argon time projection chamber to date.
"This is the first time a 3D printed scintillator detector is able to detect charged particles, such as those from cosmic rays and test beams at CERN, and reconstruct both their tracks and energy ...
The entire experiment cost $1.2 million, a drop in the bucket for high-energy physics research. The majority of that cost, $850,000, came from constructing a building to house the detector, but even ...
The way the Nobel Committee tells it, the story of this year’s physics prize begins like a certain 1970s space opera. “Once upon a time, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, two massive ...
A new, extremely thin kind of light detectors has been developed. Two very different technologies were combined for the first time: metamaterials and quantum cascade structures. Subtle ...
The beam is off, but high energy physics research is very much on at one of the world’s premier particle physics labs —and William & Mary physicists are among those monitoring the still-active NOvA ...
