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 ...

Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, ...

The sPHENIX particle detector, the newest experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, has released its first ...

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 ...

Gaseous detectors have long been an integral component of particle physics, providing essential data for tracking charged particles and elucidating complex event topologies in high-energy experiments.

High energy physics experiments require data acquisition systems and detector technologies that can capture, process and manage unprecedented data volumes and fine ...

The CosmicWatch device costs only $100 to make, making it accessible for both high school students and spacecraft operators.

Nuclear and particle physics, almost synonymous with high-energy physics, is an important subfield of experimental physics. A wide range of studies in this domain are classified as scattering ...

The discovery of two entangled quarks at the large Hadron Collider is the highest-energy observation of entanglement ever made. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

Close-up view of a SNSPD mounted on a printed circuit board inside the cryostat at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility. This device was used in the first successful demonstration of high-energy proton ...
