An array of photomultiplier tubes, used to detect faint sources of light, mounted inside the steel tank of the Eos detector. The photomultiplier tubes will eventually be submerged in water admixed ...

A free neutron outside a nucleus is not stable. It undergoes beta decay at a probability. Over time, the number of free neutrons decreases exponentially at a time constant, which is called the neutron ...

An international collaboration has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for particle physics experiments. In 2024, the T2K ...

Very low backgroud detectors are required to identify rare events, including solar neutrinos, searches for dark matter, double beta decay events, and searches for proton decay. Liquid scintillation ...

Plastic scintillators are good alternatives for liquids, single crystals used in fields of nuclear safety, border security for neutron detection in the presence of a gamma radiation background, as ...

Neutrinos are perhaps one of the most elusive yet ubiquitous particles around us. Researchers at CERN have invested heavily in detecting these ghastly particles with the T2K experiment, which is a ...

Additive manufacturing techniques like fused deposition modeling, aka 3D printing, are often used for rapid prototyping. Another advantage is that it can create shapes that are too complex to be made ...
