A new detector at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has successfully observed ...

The team revisited data from an object first spotted years ago, using updated observations to finally confirm its identity, as detailed in their paper published in The Astrophysical Journal. Several ...

Neutron star mergers are collisions between neutron stars, the collapsed cores of what were once massive supergiant stars.

She designed a special tool, the Central Neutron Detector, to be used with Jefferson Lab’s powerful CLAS12 particle detector. Building that detector took years. Niccolai’s team at IJCLab ...

Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around the universe. Scientists recently announced the first detection of gravitational waves created by two neutron stars smashing into each other.

We don't really know, but probably some truly bizarre physics. Neutron stars are some of the weirdest cosmic objects, and the greatest mysteries lie deep in their hearts. Neutron stars are the ...

This supplement is an update of Technical Report Series No. 318, Compendium of Neutron Spectra and Detector Responses for Radiation Protection Purposes (1990), that takes into account the major ...

Fast neutrons for atomic displacement research are produced by ... translated across the face of the imaging detector, and raised or lowered almost 12 inches, as needed. Remote web based access to ...

We are collaborating closely with port partners at AWE Ltd. and several other companies in order to develop and evaluate 3He alternative technologies for neutron detection. In order to do this, we ...
