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 ...

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 ...

The design and operation of scintillation detectors are shifting from the traditional Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) to Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) detectors. In this interview, Peter R. Menge, Senior ...

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 ...

Compact and efficient: prototype of a working, pocket-sized neutron detector made with semiconductor rich in lithium-6. (Courtesy: Northwestern University/Argonne National Laboratory) A semiconductor ...
