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 ...

Silicon alpha-particle detectors developed and built at the Institute of Electron Technology (ITE) in Warsaw, Poland, in cooperation with the Institut für Radiochemie – Technische Universität München ...

The QMUL group has designed, built and commissioned silicon detector systems for international experiments over the past 40 years. Our current silicon activities are divided into two areas: The ATLAS ...

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 ...

I got here to CERN a few days ago, and things are quieter than recently. It's the start of vacation season and so the cafeteria is not so full and parking is plentiful. Lots of summer students are ...

The new D/teX Ultra 250 silicon strip detector from Rigaku reduces data acquisition time by almost 50% compared to competitive detectors. The timesaving is achieved by increasing the active area of ...

Physicists, engineers, and technicians at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are rounding out the year with key developments to a house-sized particle detector that ...

The Institute of Electron Technology in Warsaw, Poland, has provided state-of-the-art silicon alpha-particle detectors for the nuclear research centre in Darmstadt. The semiconductor devices are ...
