Neutron detection technologies have evolved markedly in recent years, driven by the imperative for enhanced safety in nuclear energy, improved homeland security measures, and advances in experimental ...

Symetrica has introduced a prototype wearable detector system that provides high-sensitivity, high-accuracy and resolution for an improved source detection performance. The compact and lightweight ...

The Central Neutron Detector installed in Experimental Hall B. Silvia Niccolai and her team at the Laboratory of the Physics of the two Infinities Irène Joliot-Curie (IJCLab), a joint research unit of ...

HOUSTON – It’s no secret that radiation is a great danger to astronauts. Most of the research to date concerns the effects of galactic cosmic rays, but what happens to those particles when they pass ...

In a muon tomography detector, cosmic-ray muons interact with an object and strike scintillators that emit photons. Wavelength-shifting fibers transmit the photons to photodetectors that digitize the ...

An experiment more than 10 years in the making has delivered its first glimpse of the hurricane of particles whirring inside subatomic particles called neutrons, laying the groundwork to solve a ...

Matin Durrani visits the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the US to find out how neutrons are being used to create a unique microscope that can see inside objects that other particles ...

Some of the most tumultuous stellar events involve objects so massive they shake the very foundation of the universe. In recent years, scientists have managed to tap into those vibrations to confirm ...
