While you're walking around you don't notice it, but muons are passing through your body at the rate of about 10,000 muons per minute. These fermions, identical in most respects to electrons except ...

Cherenkov Radiation With its thousands of photomultiplier tubes, the Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector looks like something straight out of an early-2000s hip-hop film clip.

For water at room temperature, this angle is 41º. In a water Cherenkov detector, the Cherenkov radiation is detected, usually by photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and the cone of emission reconstructed.

The setup is ingenious. Strings of glass spheres, each packed with highly sensitive photodetectors, await the faintest flash of blue light, called Cherenkov radiation.

The group's detector design exploits Cherenkov radiation, a phenomenon in which radiation is emitted when charged particles moving faster than light pass through a particular medium, akin to sonic ...

Each will be lined with 18 optical modules containing 31 photomultiplier tubes that can spot flashes of Cherenkov radiation in the darkness at those depths.

Their detection relies on the weak nuclear force, utilizing the Cherenkov radiation produced when a neutrino interacts with matter to create a muon, which is then observed by photomultiplier tubes ...

Scientists build telescopes to gather Cherenkov light emitted by cosmic-ray and gamma-ray showers in the Earth's atmosphere. Neutrino physicists embed hundreds of light-sensitive detectors in large ...

SHINE Technologies of the USA says it has demonstrated clearly visible Cherenkov radiation produced by fusion for what is believed to be the first time. Historically, fusion has been demonstrated and ...
