Can the same type of technology Facebook uses to recognize faces also recognize particles?
Technicians, engineers and scientists have draped the MicroBooNE detector at Fermilab in a shiny new exterior that helps scientists separate cosmic ray signals from neutrino signals.
What do high-energy scientists mean when they talk about a trigger? How does it work? And how impressive are the CMS triggers? (They’re pretty impressive.)
The Mu2e collaboration has built a detector to defeat the background caused by cosmic rays showering down on Earth.
A doctoral student and his adviser designed a tabletop particle detector they hope to make accessible to budding young engineering physicists.
Superheated detectors such as bubble chambers offer a unique advantage in dark matter detection, and the PICO collaboration has rejuvenated and augmented the bubble chamber technology.
Scientists are using a plastic robot and hair-thin pieces of metal to ready a magnet that will hunt for new physics.
Each will receive $2.5 million, distributed over five years, to advance their work at the laboratory.
The recently installed ANNIE neutrino experiment at Fermilab will use a new kind of detector to get a fine-grain view of neutrino-nucleon interactions.
