Observations from high-flying aircraft revealed that thunderclouds act as natural particle accelerators, emitting energetic ...

A single, super-energetic subatomic particle left a sparkling trail ... nor on other bits of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as radio waves or gamma rays, that were added to their arsenal ...

The neutrino is a notorious troublemaker in the world of particle physics ... to constrain the neutrino’s mass by looking at the energy spectrum of electrons and electron antineutrinos emitted ...

Senators voted 53-44 to approve a bill that reverses an Energy Department regulation that mandates a minimum efficiency level for gas powered water heaters. The House in February passed the measure.

The validation is performed through simulations and systematic comparisons with traditional methods, using synthetic pulses and experimental data collected from a particle physics detector. The ...

The second High Energy Particle Detector is designed to measure cosmic rays covering an energy spectrum ranging from a few MeV to ... trigger configurations specific to gamma rays will be tracked in 5 ...

Tracking devices reveal the path of a particle; calorimeters stop, absorb and measure a particle’s energy; and particle-identification detectors use a range of techniques to pin down a particle's ...

If they were created at the LHC, they would escape through the detectors unnoticed. However, they would carry away energy and momentum, so physicists could infer their existence from the amount of ...
