A large team of researchers with members from MIT, IBM, NASA's JPL and Columbia University has developed a process that that enables scalable integration of superconducting nanowire single-photon ...

Exotic nuclei near and beyond the proton drip line exhibit a range of unique decay processes, including β-delayed proton emission, α decay, and direct proton radioactivity. Spectroscopic studies ...

This paper investigates detecting a far-field dynamic particle source using cubical and spherical directional arrays. First, we present a discussion on likelihood ratio test (LRT), generalized LRT ...

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 ...

The distributed bolometer antennas used in this design are Yagi-Uda arrays. Yagi-Uda arrays are directional antenna arrays consisting of a few antenna elements parasitically coupled to each other (e.g ...

The detector group at the Swiss Light Source at PSI has been one of the pioneers in the development of custom-made hybrid pixel array detectors (HPADs) for synchrotron applications. In a paper ...

Electro-optical detectors are used to measure or sense the radiation emitted or reflected by objects within the detector’s optical field of view (FOV). Passive systems operate without any illumination ...

The significance of the entrance slit and the diffraction grating in forming a spectral image of the incident light in the image plane is discussed in the articles “An Introduction to a Spectrometer: ...

In this interview, Dürr NDT discusses the main differences between Computed Radiography and Digital Detector Arrays. Can you please introduce your company? Dürr NDT is a German company based in ...

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 ...
