Signals recorded by components of the sPHENIX calorimeter, which measures the energy of particles streaming from collisions, during a full-energy (200-billion-electron-volt) gold-gold collision at the ...

For a few years, one of particle physics’ most unsettling numbers seemed to be pointing somewhere strange. The trouble ...

Two kilometres underground near Sudbury, Ont. , a machine has reached a temperature so low it barely seems real.

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 ...

Deep underground in a Canadian mine, a refrigerator nearly 1,000 times colder than outer space has just reached its target ...

The field of particle detection and identification has witnessed transformative progress, propelled by rapid developments in sensor design, readout electronics and computational modelling. Advanced ...

The SuperCDMS is chilled to right around absolute zero, and its detectors are primed to hunt dark matter particles.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based method to dramatically tame the flood of data generated by ...

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 ...

The first results from the world's largest neutrino detector have just been published, and they reveal the most precise measurements of neutrino parameters yet. After running the detector — the ...

In 2024, the T2K Collaboration started to collect new neutrino data following several upgrades to the experiment that included new types of detectors. One of these, called SuperFGD, has a mass of ...
