Sentences with phrase «when ice nuclei»

Not exact matches

When comets approach the Sun, these ices heat up, eventually turning to gases that jet out into space together with dusty material to form a head or coma around the cometary nucleus.

Circling the South Pole, ANITA's antennas will scan a million cubic kilometers of ice at a time, looking for the telltale radio waves emitted when an ultrahigh - energy neutrino hits a nucleus in ice.

Researchers from the IceCube project will place a string of Digital Optical Modules into this hole, which can detect the faint signal produced on the rare occasion when a neutrino collides directly with the nucleus of an atom in a molecule of ice.

When a neutrino collides with an atomic nucleus, a new particle called a muon is produced, which emits a faint blue glow in the transparent ice that the DOMs can detect.

ANITA will exploit a phenomenon known as the Askaryan effect, whereby high - energy neutrinos streaming through ice, salt or sand produce a cone of radio waves when they collide with a nucleus in the material.

When comets venture into the more intense sunlight of the inner solar system, the ices on the comet nucleus begin to melt and fall away.

Usually when comets approach the sun, their ices erupt from the nucleus, creating a gaseous coma and tails.

Including aggregation, in addition to quadrupled ice nucleus concentrations aloft or an ice nucleus reservoir below, allowed the simulations to roughly match the in situ properties when assuming the presence of low - density dendrites and their aggregates (Fig. 2).

When endothermic reacting (toxic) ice nucleating materials are utilized on a massive scale for climate intervention / modification programs, convection is greatly impacted, too many condensation nuclei are present, and precipitation is generally greatly reduced (from what it would have otherwise been) in the core of the engineered chemical cool - down zones.
