Canadian technology start-up Medscint is working with customers to develop a new generation of real-time, small-field dosimetry solutions based on plastic scintillation detectors Optical innovation: ...

In 2024, the T2K Collaboration started to collect new neutrino data following several upgrades to the experiment that included new types of detectors. One of these, called SuperFGD, has a mass of ...

Early-career medical physicists in Ireland are getting to grips with a new generation of real-time, small-field dosimetry solutions based on plastic scintillation detectors Hands-on learning The ...

Neutrinos are perhaps one of the most elusive yet ubiquitous particles around us. Researchers at CERN have invested heavily in detecting these ghastly particles with the T2K experiment, which is a ...

Plastic scintillators have emerged as a robust and cost‐effective alternative to traditional inorganic materials for ionising radiation detection. Owing to their tunable chemical compositions and ...

Plastic scintillators are good alternatives for liquids, single crystals used in fields of nuclear safety, border security for neutron detection in the presence of a gamma radiation background, as ...

Additive manufacturing techniques like fused deposition modeling, aka 3D printing, are often used for rapid prototyping. Another advantage is that it can create shapes that are too complex to be made ...

Sandia National Laboratory researchers have discovered a cost-effective and simpler way to detect nuclear material. Their research makes use of organic glass scintillators that, when employed, could ...

A team of engineers at Sandia National Labs developed a scintillator made of an organic glass which is more effective and less costly than the current state of the art scintillators made of ...
