Neutrino physics remains a pivotal area in the quest to unravel fundamental aspects of particle behaviour and the evolution of the universe. Neutrinos—elusive, nearly massless particles—are known to ...

Gaseous detectors have long been an integral component of particle physics, providing essential data for tracking charged particles and elucidating complex event topologies in high-energy experiments.

Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and ...

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial. About a billion pairs of particles collide every ...

Britain is preparing to cancel its contribution to one of the Large Hadron Collider's next major upgrades.

There are many outstanding questions about the universe: What is the nature of dark matter? Why is the universe expanding? How do neutrinos acquire their mass? Because experiments to answer these ...

The SMSPDs can precisely detect single particles at a time. The detectors were designed and fabricated at JPL and commissioned at the INQNET-Caltech labs. Credit: Cristián Peña, Fermilab To learn more ...
