Muons, similar to neutrons, are subatomic particles that travel at almost the speed of light and can penetrate deep into matter. They allow scientists to comprehend the atomic scale without destroying ...

This allows us to identify electron and muon charged-current (CC) neutrino interactions and the measurement of neutrino interaction cross-sections in the currently unexplored TeV energy range." The ...

A wheel-shaped muon detector is part of an ATLAS particle detector upgrade at CERN. A new study applies "unfolding," or error-correction techniques used for particle detectors, to problems with noise ...

Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as electroweak decay. Altering the speed with which muons decay into other ...

Unless you’re involved in the study of particle physics or a similar field, there’s a good chance you might never have heard of a muon. Similar to electrons, but around 200 times heavier, muons ...

X ray, neutron and gamma radiography have been widely used by industry as non-destructive testing methods for quality control and to assess the safety and integrity of structures. Such techniques use ...

Something odd is happening deep inside the data streams from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. A set of “forbidden” patterns in how unstable particles decay, combined with rare Higgs events and a ...
