Sentences with phrase «types of particle detectors»

Not exact matches

By arranging their detectors at the edge of a fusion device, researchers have found that they are able to measure high energy particles kicked out of the plasma by a type of wave that exists in fusion plasmas called an Alfvén wave (named after their discoverer, the Nobel Prize winner Hannes Alfvén).

This experiment will be a huge detector 40 meters long and 22 m in diameter, consisting of many different layers of specific detector types positioned like «onion skins» around the particle collision point.

«Our model shows a way to understand why these three types of cosmic messenger particles have a surprisingly similar amount of power input into the universe, despite the fact that they are observed by space - based and ground - based detectors over ten orders of magnitude in individual particle energy,» said Kohta Murase, assistant professor of physics and astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State.

Better understanding of these neutrinos is critically important in particle physics, astrophysics and astronomy, and scientists have worked for more than 50 years to design and build a high - energy neutrino detector of this type.

Named Ds3 * (2860) ˉ, the particle, a new type of meson [1], was discovered by analysing data collected with the LHCb detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC)[2].

He also led a team that designed a new type of high - speed integrated circuit for particle detectors.

Having developed the detector technology, the pair are now focused on building prototype detectors for the various types of radiation relevant to particular disciplines, including X-rays and beta particles.

This experiment, called protoDUNE, is a 1 / 20th scale model of the planned DUNE neutrino detector, which will study how these elusive particles oscillate between different types, or «flavours», and investigate their masses.

It was to study such atmospheric γ - rays that Dwyer, then at the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, fitted a particle detector on a Gulfstream V, a type of jet plane typically used by business executives.

Modern particle detectors consist of layers of subdetectors, each designed to look for particular properties, or specific types of particle.
