A new generation of gamma-ray detector known as AstroPix will fly aboard the agency’s Fly Foundational Robots mission, scheduled for launch in late 2027. While the technology demonstration may appear ...

Researchers have completed the major construction of the Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array (GRETA), a next-generation nuclear detector designed to deliver the most precise measurements yet of atomic ...

New experiments at CERN by an international team have ruled out a potential source of intergalactic magnetic fields. The existence of such fields is invoked to explain why we do not observe secondary ...

Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...

These jets produce intense gamma-ray emission extending up to several teraelectronvolts, which are detected by ground-based telescopes. As these TeV gamma rays propagate across intergalactic space, ...

This study experimentally investigates the radiation shielding performance, characterized by the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) values, of concrete mixes incorporating lead monoxide (NL), ...

Researchers have reported new experimental results addressing the origin of rare proton-rich isotopes heavier than iron, called p-nuclei. Led by Artemis Tsantiri, then-graduate student at the Facility ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

An international team of scientists, led by the University of Oxford, has achieved a world-first by creating plasma "fireballs" using the Super Proton Synchrotron accelerator at CERN, Geneva, to study ...
