In a new study published inNature Physics, scientists at the MAJORANA Collaboration have tested the stringency of charge ...

One technique is based on a scintillator—in this case, linear alkylbenzene—that emits light in response to the charged ...

Thus awakened from our dogmatic slumber, we re-open Majorana's question: could the distinction between neutrino and antineutrino, which seems so plainly apparent, be superficial? (Consider the ...

In beta-minus decay, for instance, a neutron inside an atomic nucleus is transformed into a proton while emitting an electron and an antineutrino. Conversely, in beta-plus decay, a proton can be ...

Austin Mullen is a PhD student in nuclear engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. His technical studies focus on antineutrino detection for nonproliferation purposes, and he is deeply ...

This graphic shows the detail of a possible configuration of the photomultiplier tube mounting structure for the WATCHMAN antineutrino detector, a key part of the Advanced Instrumentation Testbed ...

Advisor: Todd Averett, Institute for Defense Analyses in Alexandria, VA Joshua D. Devan, "Measurement of Neutrino and Antineutrino Charged-Current Inclusive Cross Sections with the MINERvA Detector", ...

Today his research includes 3D coded aperture gamma-ray imaging and antineutrino detection for reactor monitoring. In pursuit of his interest in nuclear policy, he has worked with Berkeley’s Nuclear ...

The proton, electron, and the antineutrino move away from one another emitting the electron as a beta particle. The process is summarised by the equation: \(_0^1n\rightarrow_1^1p+_{-1}^{\,\,\,\,\, ...

The intensity of the scintillation provides information about the energy of the neutrino or antineutrino. Cherenkov radiation, however, is emitted in a cone, so it can provide information on the ...
