The new Central Neutron Detector at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has successfully detected neutrons in ...

Using the largest gravitational wave detector ever made, we have confirmed earlier reports that the fabric of the universe is ...

Recent advancements at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility have enabled physicists to explore the internal ...

Protons and neutrons–known collectively as nucleons–are both the building blocks of matter, but one of these particles has ...

The Central Neutron Detector installed in Experimental Hall B. Silvia Niccolai and her team at the Laboratory of the Physics ...

James Chadwick’s discovery of the neutron in 1932 opened a new era in physics. Today, neutron detection is widely used in fundamental physics (especially in the measurement of nuclear cross-sections ...

If astronomers could catch bursts of gamma rays from supernova explosions that create neutron stars near the Milky Way, the ...

The cost of 3 He is prohibitive and this has led to a significant interest in finding new materials to construct neutron detectors. We are collaborating closely with port partners at AWE Ltd. and ...

To accurately detect these tiny disturbances, detectors must first measure and understand nuclear recoils under a neutron beam to ensure proper calibration. "Radiation is the means by which we ...

Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around the universe. Scientists recently announced the first detection of gravitational waves created by two neutron stars smashing into each other.
