When Debaditya Biswas was a high school student in India, his math teacher, Dr. Satyabrata Das, sparked his interest in physics. "Before I joined his class, I was really not sure what I was going to ...

A recent study offers proof of feasibility for using cosmic radiation detectors to discover underground spaces. The detectors identify muons—particles created when cosmic radiation collides with Earth ...

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 ...

Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) and the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) have developed a novel top veto tracker system for the Taishan Antineutrino Observatory (TAO) experiment.

Muon radiography and tomography are innovative non‐destructive imaging techniques that employ cosmic-ray muons to probe the internal structures of large objects, from ancient monuments to active ...

Energetic particles that pop briefly into existence when cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war ends. In the 1970s, a pioneering ...
