At the heart of many particle physics experiments sits a device with a catchy name: the time projection chamber. With an important job and a storied history, TPCs have a special place in particle ...

An international collaboration headed by researchers in the Department of Physics has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for ...

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 ...

Physicists, engineers, and technicians at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are rounding out the year with key developments to a house-sized particle detector that ...

The DUNE collaboration has published their first scientific paper based on data collected with the ProtoDUNE single-phase detector located at CERN's Neutrino Platform. The results show that the ...

Scientists turned off the world’s largest particle accelerator in December. This planned, 3-year shutdown at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will let staff make repairs and upgrade the accelerator so ...

A new study suggests new paths for catching the signals of dark matter particles that have their energy absorbed by atomic nuclei. Dark matter has so far defied every type of detector designed to find ...

This article explores the intriguing realm of particle physics with Vitrek’s comprehensive document on scattering experiments. Learn how incident particles strike targets, resulting in scattered ...
