Flo-Guard is a particle flow detector that uses microprocessor-controlledtribo-electric technology. It can be used to detect a broken bag in a dust collector and can also detect solids at the clean ...

A collaboration of scientists tested next-generation superconducting microwire single photon detectors (SMSPDs) at Fermilab to further particle physics research. A team of researchers from the U.S.

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate particle detectors, and they have found the optimal nanowire size for high detection ...

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 ...

A team including physicists has for the first time detected subatomic particles called neutrinos created by a particle collider, namely at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The discovery promises to ...

Detecting high-energy particles is essential for exploring the fundamental structure of matter. Particle accelerators propel charged particles close to the speed of light, smashing them into targets ...

Berkeley Lab scientists’ unusual carry-ons include components for a CERN experiment’s detector upgrade. You may have observed airplane passengers accompanied by pets or even musical instruments on ...

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 ...

The IceCube neutrino detector was an audacious design. The Super Kamiokande detector had shown that a huge mass of water could act as an effective particle detector. But that involved a giant tank ...
