Low-cost single crystals that are very good at detecting gamma rays have been created in Switzerland by researchers at the Empa materials lab and ETH Zurich. Maksym Kovalenko and colleagues have shown ...

Cherenkov radiation refers to the photon emission from the swift charged particle moves with the velocity greater than the phase velocity of light in the surrounding materials. Ever since its ...

After a new upgrade, a neutrino observatory in Antarctica may identify dormant supermassive black holes within our galaxy.

An array of photomultiplier tubes, used to detect faint sources of light, mounted inside the steel tank of the Eos detector. The photomultiplier tubes will eventually be submerged in water admixed ...

Unique Cherenkov detectors for measurements of electron beams in thermonuclear installations of the tokamak type are being developed. Tests conducted this year revealed that the device might be useful ...

Right direction: the new neutrino detection method uses scintillation, Cherenkov radiation and the position of the Sun. (Courtesy: NASA/SDO) Until now, physicists measuring the properties of solar ...

A strong regional tradition of high-energy physics and astrophysics—plus the aspirations of one young researcher—brought the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Gamma-ray Observatory to Mexico. High on a ...

Using a simple camera and water tank, investigators demonstrated that induced Cherenkov light can be imaged and used to confirm that the complex spatial dose distribution imparted in dynamic treatment ...

The massive project will intercept γ-ray showers in an unexplored energy band. You have full access to this article via your institution. Set high on a mountain plain in China, an ambitious ...
