"Monte Carlo Simulation of a Lithium Glass Scintillation Detector" by Ilya Zimin
- Details
- Category: Seminars
The Monte Carlo simulation of a thermal neutron scintillation detector based on NE 912 lithium glass was created and verified. The simulation was validated by comparing its result to experimental data from a prototype detector exposed to thermal neutron and gamma-quantum beams. The scintillator properties were determined: light yield for a captured thermal neutron, the quenching factor, and decay times.
"Physics World" announces its Breakthrough of the Year finalists for 2020
- Details
- Category: News
One of the highlights in the Physics World calendar is the announcement of their Breakthrough of the Year. Today ten finalists for 2020 have been revealed, from which the Breakthrough of the Year will be picked on Thursday 17 December.
This year’s Top 10 Breakthroughs were selected by a crack team of five Physics World editors, who have sifted through hundreds of research updates published on the website this year. In addition to having been reported in Physics World in 2020, the selections must meet the following criteria:
• Significant advance in knowledge or understanding.
• Importance of the work for scientific progress and/or development of real-world applications.
• Of general interest to Physics World readers.
«Study of Neutrino Properties with Nuclear Emulsion Detectors in CERN Experiments» by Sergey Dmitrievsky
- Details
- Category: Seminars
Studying neutrino properties is one of the hottest points in modern particle physics. A few years ago, CERN decided to concentrate on the LHC and to stop the accelerator neutrino programme. However, some new experiments were proposed recently at CERN aimed to study neutrinos in the regions where their properties are poorly known or unexplored.
