A collaboration of scientists tested next-generation superconducting microwire single photon detectors (SMSPDs) at Fermilab to further particle physics research. A team of researchers from the U.S.

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate particle detectors, and they have found the optimal nanowire size for high detection ...

Researchers have developed a novel high-energy particle detection instrumentation approach that leverages the power of quantum sensors -- devices capable of precisely detecting single particles. To ...

Scientists have detected the highest-energy "ghost particle" ever seen. The particle, a type of neutrino, arrived at Earth at nearly the speed of light and with 30 times the energy of the previous ...

Particle size characterization in nanosuspensions often focuses on ‘majority’ features of the size distribution. Yet, for various suspensions in (bio)pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals, small fractions ...

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 ...

Close-up view of a SNSPD mounted on a printed circuit board inside the cryostat at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility. This device was used in the first successful demonstration of high-energy proton ...
