Experiment uses quantum techniques to stimulate photons, enhancing search for dark matter

…used a qubit to do both, preparing a quantum state of light that stimulates the creation of photons, and then using the qubit to probe the exact number of photons…

TOTEM and DØ collaborations announce odderon discovery

…“This result probes the deepest features of the theory of quantum chromodynamics, notably that gluons interact between themselves and that an odd number of gluons are able to be “colourless”,…

MICE experiment demonstrates key technique for future muon colliders

…energy for the creation of new particles. One measure of the discovery potential of an accelerator is luminosity, which quantifies how many collisions happen per second. For a given number…

Safety in robots: Mu2e’s automated handler

…direct conversion into an electron, and for this it needs to make a lot of muons. In fact, the number of muons researchers need to see (nearly 1 billion billion,…

NOvA turns its eyes to the skies

…The number of muons is affected by atmospheric conditions, and the total number of muons reaching underground detectors is higher in the summer. Summer’s less dense atmosphere favors the production…

More than 3,000 neutrino scientists gather online for Neutrino 2020

…and covering all seven continents tuned in to the 79 talks – more than four times the typical number of attendees. (Almost half of attendees were early in their career,…

Searching for supernova neutrinos with DUNE

…supernova flux – the number of neutrinos leaving the supernova per second – and the explosion mechanism. Different supernova flux models will produce different numbers of neutrino interactions and signals…

SLAC’s superconducting X-ray laser reaches operating temperature colder than outer space

…However, since LCLS-II uses superconducting cavities instead of warm copper cavities based on 60-year-old technology, it can can deliver up to a million pulses per second, 10,000 times the number…

India formally begins construction phase for contributions to Fermilab’s new particle accelerator

…Technology in Indore, and the Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre in Kolkata. Many of these Indian institutions will provide a significant number of technical components for PIP-II, including superconducting acceleration structures,…
