Sentences with phrase «with photomultiplier»

The wispy particles can not be observed directly, however, so the 39 - meter - diameter, 41 - meter - high observation tank is filled with water and lined with photomultiplier tubes that can catch a distinctive glow, known as Cerenkov radiation, produced when neutrinos smash into atomic particles in the water.

The Shot: Pan took this digital image with an Olympus FluoView FV1000 confocal microscope using a 20x objective and a photomultiplier tube.

You can't see it with the naked eye, so to detect this light, we have 178 extremely sensitive one - pixel cameras, called photomultipliers, above and below the liquid - xenon - filled detector.

All of that, in turn, is surrounded by 1,879 photomultiplier tubes, which pick up flashes of light produced as antineutrinos collide with protons in the liquid - filled balloon.

When a low - energy neutrino or antineutrino from a supernova collides with a water molecule in the tank, the resulting light signal is recorded by about 100 of 13,000 photomultipliers, ultrasensitive light - detecting devices that turn a tiny flash of light into a larger recordable burst of electricity.

Soon we got back into our vehicles and headed toward the neutrino telescope, a contraption made of 11 strings of photomultiplier tubes, each with a large buoy at the top and a counterweight at the bottom.

The light collected by the lidar telescope is geometrically and spectrally separated (e.g., with optical filters and beam splitters) and detected with photosensitive devices (photomultipliers, abbreviated PMTs) where it is converted to electro - photon counts, the so - called «lidar signals».
