As the global energy need is rising, both public institutions and private companies have increased their efforts toward nuclear fusion. The latest headline grabber in this sphere is Acceleron Fusion, ...

"First measurement of electron- and muon-neutrino interaction rates at the highest energy ever detected from an artificial source." ScienceDaily. www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 08 / ...

Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as ...

In a muon tomography detector, cosmic-ray muons interact with an object and strike scintillators that emit photons. Wavelength-shifting fibers transmit the photons to photodetectors that digitize the ...

The US physics community dreams of building a muon collider. In the spring of 2022, Karri DiPetrillo was gearing up for the final step of the Snowmass particle physics community planning process. It ...

New experimental results show particles called muons can be corralled into beams suitable for high-energy collisions, paving the way for new physics. New experimental results show particles called ...

Researchers in the US have developed a mobile muon detector that has the potential to revolutionize spent nuclear fuel monitoring and address a critical challenge in quantum computing. Physicists and ...

The Defense Department and other federal agencies have sought advanced sources that generate gamma rays, X-rays, neutrons, protons, and electrons to enable a variety of scientific, commercial, and ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

Researchers obtain the first direct observation of electron and muon neutrino interactions at the Large Hadron Collider using the FASERν detector Neutrinos are fundamental particles in the Standard ...
