Those bread crumbs come in a variety of forms: light, heat or electric charge. “Basically, every particle detector that exists is looking for one or more of those three things,” says particle ...

Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit ...

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 ...

A charged particle that propagates through the material excites the polymer matrix: a non-radiative dipole-dipole interaction transfers the excitation energy to the fluors, which de-excite by ...

AMS-02 also contains a bank of high-grade magnets, which steer the path of electrically charged particles, helping to separate the contributions from different particle types. With these detectors ...

How to get a particle detector on a plane. 09/19/19. By Glenn Roberts Jr. ... In the early stages of the project the Berkeley Lab team used powerful charged-particle beams at Berkeley Lab’s 88-Inch ...
