Cherenkov radiation refers to the photon emission from the swift charged particle moves with the velocity greater than the phase velocity of light in the surrounding materials. Ever since its ...

Fastmicro B.V. is a manufacturer of surface particle defect detection systems and equipment established over 15 years ago. The main product lines include sample surface particle defect scanning, ...

Combining an off-the-shelf X-ray camera with a thin piece of carbon foil yields a device that can detect high-energy organic atoms and heavy molecules better than the typical devices used for these ...

This experiment, now ended, was the first to detect neutrinos from the sun in the early 1970s. The Homestake detector, pioneered by Nobel laureate in physics Raymond Davis Jr., seen here, consisted of ...

In 2024, the T2K Collaboration started to collect new neutrino data following several upgrades to the experiment that included new types of detectors. One of these, called SuperFGD, has a mass of ...

The caverns in Lead, South Dakota, will house the gigantic particle detectors of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. Construction workers created two colossal caverns, each more than 500 feet ...

A doctoral student and his adviser designed a tabletop particle detector they hope to make accessible to budding young engineering physicists. When Spencer Axani was an undergraduate physics student, ...

Thanks to CERN and their work in detecting the Higgs Boson using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), there has been a surge of interest among many to learn more about the basic building blocks of the ...

China is constructing the world's largest underwater microscope, the Tropical Deep-sea Neutrino Telescope (TRIDENT), to hunt for elusive neutrinos or "ghost particles" in the Western Pacific Ocean.
