On 26 December 2000 the Japanese KEK laboratory accomplished full powering of the superconducting solenoid magnet for the forthcoming giant ATLAS experiment at CERN's LHC collider.
The project, known as "Impecable", will fund the development of more efficient and faster optical detectors by the newly formed consortium, leading to their subsequent production by Photek and Electr...
Recently Brookhaven's RHIC achieved another major milestone with the insertion of the Silicon Vertex Tracker into the heart of the Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC detector.
On 25 May 2001, Jack Steinberger, who shared the Nobel prize in 1988 and is one of CERN's stalwarts, reaches his 80th birthday. His memoirs of his early life were published in Annual Reviews of Nucle...
The CERN Solar Axion Telescope, CAST, aims to shed light on a 30-year-old riddle of particle physics by detecting axions originating from the 15 million degree plasma in the Sun's core.
The first part of the end-cap toroid system for the mighty ATLAS experiment, which is under preparation for CERN's Large Hadron Collider, will soon be on the road to CERN.
After 40 years of research, physicists met at the First International Workshop on the Radio Detection of High Energy Particles to discuss the detection of high-energy cosmic rays and neutrinos using...
The DESY laboratory in Hamburg has accepted a proposal from the HERA-B experiment for a revised programme of research.
As well as being important in particle physics, multiwire detectors have been applied in other fields: X-rays for medical imaging, ultraviolet and single-photon detection, neutron and crystal diffrac...
