WASHINGTON — NASA is investigating a detector problem common to three primary instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that could get worse with time as a planned 2014 launch date for the ...

Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays from protons to iron nuclei all hit the same energy cliff — a pattern nobody had seen in 100 years of data
For more than a century, physicists have watched particles rain down from space carrying energies that dwarf anything a ...
Custom-made hybrid pixel array detectors (HPADs) have been developed for synchrotron applications, scientists report. The research group has shown that it is now possible to develop HPADs with ...
The detector array consists of plastic scintillator detectors, quadrant silicon detectors (QSD), double-sided silicon detectors (DSSD) and high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors. Exotic nuclei near ...

The SuperCDMS detector buried in a Canadian mine just hit a temperature 1,000 times colder than outer space — sensitive enough to detect dark matter at last
Two kilometers below the surface of Sudbury, Ontario, inside a nickel mine that has been producing ore since the 1880s, a ...
The world of laser scanning microscopy is quickly evolving, thanks to the advent of fast and compact detector arrays. These arrays replace the typical single-element detector of traditional confocal ...
Detection by Askaryan Radio Array holds promise for future research into sources, nature of cosmic rays and neutrinos ...
An immense advantage of EM 2 detectors is that—when calibrated properly—they are noiseless and single ion counting is possible. The essence of an EM is a serial connection of discrete metal plates ...
