Accident at major detector in Japan
The extent of the damage suggested some kind of chain reaction in the tubes, with one implosion setting off the next. It happened as the detector was being refilled with water after routine maintena...

On 12 November, thousands of photomultipliers imploded in the huge Superkamiokande detector in Japan, which has produced important results on neutrino physics.
Although CERN's LEP electron-positron collider finished operating in November 2000, analysis of the enormous amount of data it produced will continue for some time.
Transition radiation is playing an increasingly important role in the armoury of detection techniques for particle physics.
Detectors, like people, encounter problems as they get older.
The Antares undersea neutrino experiment, scheduled for deployment 2400 m down in the Mediterranean off the south coast of France, successfully laid its sea cable at the beginning of October.
Some 2000 metres underground in a working nickel mine, physicists have installed one of the world's most sensitive instruments for observing the universe. Operational since 1999, the Sudbury Neutrino...
A new kind of X-ray polarimeter giving greatly improved sensitivity and based on methods developed for particle physics gives astronomers a new handle on X-ray measurement.
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, which started taking data in 1999, has announced its first results on solar neutrinos, which confirm the suspicion that something happens to these particles on their ...
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment, which is being carried out in preparation for the installation of CERN's forthcoming Large Hadron Collider (LHC), became one of the laboratory's star visito...
