Neutron detection underpins a wide range of scientific, industrial and security applications, from reactor monitoring and neutron scattering to medical imaging and homeland security. Traditional ...

The application of CVD diamond in high energy particle physics, fusion experiments, and neutron sources as vital diagnostic tools has been accelerated by a long-standing development partnership ...

As the demand for nuclear security solutions grows, distinguishing a benign medical isotope from a potential threat is ...

Neutron detection in scintillation systems exploits the interaction of neutrons with hydrogen or high-cross-section nuclei within organic or inorganic matrices to produce prompt scintillation light.

In a muon tomography detector, cosmic-ray muons interact with an object and strike scintillators that emit photons. Wavelength-shifting fibers transmit the photons to photodetectors that digitize the ...

In many ways, neutrons are mysterious. They are everywhere, present in the nucleus of all elements. Yet they can be difficult to detect: unlike protons or electrons, they possess no charge, and when ...

Muons, similar to neutrons, are subatomic particles that travel at almost the speed of light and can penetrate deep into matter. They allow scientists to comprehend the atomic scale without destroying ...
