When studying mysterious subatomic particles, researchers use a different kind of particle detector to prevent run-of-the-mill dust particles from getting in the way. If you’ve got physics on your ...

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 ...

At every moment, subatomic particles stream in unfathomable numbers through your body. Each second, about 100 billion neutrinos from the sun pass through your thumbnail, and you’re bathed in a rain of ...

An international collaboration headed by researchers in the Department of Physics has shown that additive manufacturing ...

This article addresses a common misunderstanding among some users regarding non-volumetric particle counters. Some users believe that dividing particle counts by the counting efficiency (CE) at the ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

A new and powerful particle detector just passed a critical test in its goal to decipher the ingredients of the early universe. The sPHENIX detector is the newest experiment at Brookhaven National ...

Particle detectors play a crucial role in our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. They allow scientists to study the behavior and properties of the particles produced in ...
