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 ...

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 ...

“Geoneutrinos are a type of antineutrino produced by radioactive decays happening inside the Earth. By measuring geoneutrinos, we can measure the chemical composition of the planet,” explains Alex ...

A free neutron outside a nucleus is not stable. It undergoes beta decay at a probability. Over time, the number of free neutrons decreases exponentially at a time constant, which is called the neutron ...

Neutrinos are perhaps one of the most elusive yet ubiquitous particles around us. Researchers at CERN have invested heavily in detecting these ghastly particles with the T2K experiment, which is a ...

X-ray detection is becoming increasingly important in areas from daily life for industry, the military, and scientific research. The process of scintillation materials is converting the X-ray, ...

The theory now posits that neutrino particles have a very small mass and come in three distinct “flavors” that can be switched between. Previously, it was believed that they had no mass. Studying ...

Astute Analytica has recently published a detailed research report on the Radiation Detector Industry, emphasizing the necessity of evaluating a wide range of factors to achieve a comprehensive ...
