If ever spotted in the emptiness of space, according to theoretical physicist Eugeny Babichev of the University of ...

Cherenkov radiation refers to the photon emission from the swift charged particle moves with the velocity greater than the phase velocity of light in the surrounding materials. Ever since its ...

An array of photomultiplier tubes, used to detect faint sources of light, mounted inside the steel tank of the Eos detector. The photomultiplier tubes will eventually be submerged in water admixed ...

Right direction: the new neutrino detection method uses scintillation, Cherenkov radiation and the position of the Sun. (Courtesy: NASA/SDO) Until now, physicists measuring the properties of solar ...

Scientists within the JEM-EUSO collaboration are exploiting innovative detector technologies in their quest to observe ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays from space Flying high JEM-EUSO’s Mini-EUSO ...

A strong regional tradition of high-energy physics and astrophysics—plus the aspirations of one young researcher—brought the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Gamma-ray Observatory to Mexico. High on a ...

Cherenkov light appears when a charged particle travels through matter faster than light can. This effect is the optical equivalent of a sonic boom, which occurs, for example, when a jet travels ...
