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 ...

An international collaboration headed by researchers in the Department of Physics has shown that additive manufacturing ...

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: ...

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 ...

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 ...
