Almost all modern particle physics experiments make use of silicon sensors to detect and track charged particles. In such solid-state devices, energy deposited by a high-energy particle interacting ...

Aboard the International Space Station, UK astronaut Tim Peake monitors his radiation exposure using a TimePix detector ... will be relevant for teaching Physics. This topic appears at KS3 ...

This course provides the operating principles and applications of nuclear radiation detection systems, including detector theory, electronic signal processing, and measurement and data reduction ...

Our work on the simulation and understanding of the radiation environment in ATLAS is essential to understand the behaviour of the detector in the current and future running conditions ... as well as ...

For water at room temperature, this angle is 41º. In a water Cherenkov detector, the Cherenkov radiation is detected, usually by photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and the cone of emission reconstructed.
