When scientists designed the CMS detector in the 1990s, they had the most popular and mathematically resilient models of particle physics in mind. As far as they knew, the most interesting particles ...

The Berkeley Lab team is contributing 60 detector staves for the middle layers of ALICE’s upgraded outer-barrel detector, the largest contribution by a US lab. The completed detector will have seven ...

Berkeley Lab is one of five sites around the globe that is building detector panels for an upgrade project that will improve the performance of a particle detector's inner tracking system ...

They compared the SuperCube to an analogous detection system produced with cast polymerization, a conventional manufacturing ...

The Super Kamiokande detector had shown that a huge mass of water could act as an effective particle detector. But that involved a giant tank built in a deep mine.

How to make a particle detector cloud chamber at home. If your aim is to detect any old particles that happen to be passing through your kitchen, that's actually pretty easy.

Scientists are to turn the Moon into a giant particle detector to help understand the origin of Ultra-High-Energy (UHE) cosmic rays -- the most energetic particles in the Universe. The origin of ...

ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Luca Parmitano is pictured attached to the Canadarm2 robotic arm during the first spacewalk to repair the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, the International Space ...

But as this publication recently reported, there is a problem with the AMS particle detector's cooling system, and NASA is planning an extensive set of repairs.
