How do you find and measure nuclear particles, like antineutrinos, that travel near the speed of light? Antineutrinos are the antimatter partner of a neutrino, one of nature's most elusive and ...

In the case of a plastic scintillator, the scintillating material is suspended in the solid polymer matrix base. As [Lukas] points out, plastic scintillators are hardly ideal when it comes to ...

The upgraded detector requires a two-tonne polystyrene-based plastic scintillator detector that is segmented into 1 cm^3 cubes. These small cubes yield precise results but require finer ...

The team also intend to compare the ISD to a range of water-equivalent devices such as plastic scintillator detectors and radiosensitive films. Replacing the scintillator material with a more ...
