Hadron therapy shows potential to improve the effectiveness of cancer radiotherapy. By exploiting the characteristic depth-dose distributions of hadrons in tissues (the Bragg peak), the technique ...

Three-dimensional silicon pixel sensors represent a significant advance in detector technology designed to operate reliably under extreme radiation conditions. Their unique architecture, in which ...

Purdue particle physicists continue a legacy of boundary-pushing experiments at the Large Hadron Collider WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The huge detectors providing a window to the world’s tiniest particles ...

NASA astrophysicists and engineers are adapting detectors used by earthbound supercolliders and creating them the same way electronics companies produce all modern consumer devices, including cell ...

Semiconductor pixel detectors are an important class of radiation and particle detection devices based on semiconductors, such as germanium or silicon (Si). A semiconductor diode is depleted by ...

This research aims to calibrate the temperature sensors on the silicon pixel detector. The calibration of the temperature sensor is done to eliminate the discrepancy between the environmental ...

Abbas Hassani, a graduate student in the high energy physics group, has been recognized with a 2023 Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment (CMS) Award for his outstanding contributions to the Silicon Pixel ...

This month scientists embedded sophisticated new instruments in the heart of a Large Hadron Collider experiment. Sometimes big questions require big tools. That’s why a global community of scientists ...

Installation of the world's largest silicon tracking detector was successfully completed at CERN on December 18, 2007. With a total surface area of 205 square metres, about the same as a singles ...

Odisha scientist Dr Prafulla Kumar Behera was involved in commissioning of a device called silicon pixel detector which played a big part in the success of the experiment. KENDRAPADA: The announcement ...

The UL 02 15 2, UL 04 17 1, and the UL 03 19 1 amorphous infrared detectors claim to exhibit the smallest pixel size available, specified at 25 µm. Measuring 16.6 mm x 16.5 mm x 4.2 mm and weighing ...
