WASHINGTON — NASA is investigating a detector problem common to three primary instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that could get worse with time as a planned 2014 launch date for the ...
Custom-made hybrid pixel array detectors (HPADs) have been developed for synchrotron applications, scientists report. The research group has shown that it is now possible to develop HPADs with ...
For more than a century, physicists have watched particles rain down from space carrying energies that dwarf anything a ...
Semiconductors have had a nice run, but for certain applications, such as astrophysics, they are being edged out by superconductors. Scientists have now developed a superconducting detector array that ...
The world of laser scanning microscopy is quickly evolving, thanks to the advent of fast and compact detector arrays. These arrays replace the typical single-element detector of traditional confocal ...
Detection by Askaryan Radio Array holds promise for future research into sources, nature of cosmic rays and neutrinos ...
The detector array consists of plastic scintillator detectors, quadrant silicon detectors (QSD), double-sided silicon detectors (DSSD) and high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors. Exotic nuclei near ...
Advanced-technology sensors, coupled with data processing and fusion and networked communications, have enabled new approaches to warfighting and have been essential for reducing combat losses, ...
An immense advantage of EM 2 detectors is that—when calibrated properly—they are noiseless and single ion counting is possible. The essence of an EM is a serial connection of discrete metal plates ...
