Astronomers have published a gigantic infrared map of the Milky Way containing more than 1.5 billion objects ― the most ...

The eight-part series is full of intrigue, some confusion, and leaves us with a lot of questions, our first being what the hell is a Cherenkov tank? The series is based on a series of novels of the ...

While you're walking around you don't notice it, but muons are passing through your body at the rate of about 10,000 muons ...

Because these electrons travel through the nanoparticles faster than the speed of light in silicon, they produce Cherenkov radiation — the radiation that is responsible for the blue glow ...

For water at room temperature, this angle is 41º. In a water Cherenkov detector, the Cherenkov radiation is detected, usually by photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and the cone of emission reconstructed.

This really wasn't expected until we had the technology to see it. For example, there are these things called Cherenkov detectors that are placed on the ground and enable us to see the cosmic rays ...

A few future observatories — such as the Cherenkov Telescope Array and the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory — could help, but they’re several years out.

In 1958, Tamm was a co-recipient of the Nobel Prize for physics for the discovery of what is called the Cherenkov effect. He continued working in theoretical physics into the late '60s even as his ...

The Bartol “boutique” marks its 100th birthday this week, celebrating with almost 100 physicists who are gathering at UD for ...

“The upgraded detectors are precision detectors for a precision-physics era,” says international co-spokesperson Kendall Mahn ...

It consists of an array of 5,216 electromagnetic particle detectors and 1,188 muon detectors distributed over 1 km 2, a water Cherenkov detector array covering 78,000 m 2 and an array of 18 wide ...
