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 ...

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.

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same uncomfortable conclusion: something is producing signals that the Standard Model of ...

For years, Rutgers physicist David Shih solved Rubik's Cubes with his children, twisting the colorful squares until the ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and future of particle physics research. Particle physicists have a reputation ...

A worker rides on his bicycle in the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel during maintenance. In late May, I had a chance to visit CERN, near Geneva, and visit with Jakub Mościcki, head of CERN’s ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

For Cinzia DaVià, collaboration isn’t just a buzzword. It’s the approach she applies to all her professional endeavors. From her contributions to the development of a silicon sensor used in CERN ...
