Very low backgroud detectors are required to identify rare events, including solar neutrinos, searches for dark matter, double beta decay events, and searches for proton decay. Liquid scintillation ...

An international collaboration has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for particle physics experiments. In 2024, the T2K ...

The detection of neutrons and the utilisation of scintillation techniques stand at the forefront of advances in nuclear science, security, and medical imaging. Neutrons, with their weak interaction ...

Additive manufacturing techniques like fused deposition modeling, aka 3D printing, are often used for rapid prototyping. Another advantage is that it can create shapes that are too complex to be made ...

An international collaboration headed by researchers in the Department of Physics has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for ...

Early-career medical physicists in Ireland are getting to grips with a new generation of real-time, small-field dosimetry solutions based on plastic scintillation detectors Hands-on learning The ...

Canadian technology start-up Medscint is working with customers to develop a new generation of real-time, small-field dosimetry solutions based on plastic scintillation detectors Optical innovation: ...

[Marco] has a sodium iodide detector that indicates cosmic radiation by scintillation. The material glows when hit by cosmic rays and, traditionally, a photomultiplier tube detects the photos from the ...

In 2024, the T2K Collaboration started to collect new neutrino data following several upgrades to the experiment that included new types of detectors. One of these, called SuperFGD, has a mass of ...
