To learn more about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, physicists smash high-energy particles together in large accelerator machines, creating sprays of millions of particles per second of ...

Researchers have developed a novel high-energy particle detection instrumentation approach that leverages the power of quantum sensors -- devices capable of precisely detecting single particles. To ...

Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and ...

The SMSPDs can precisely detect single particles at a time. The detectors were designed and fabricated at JPL and commissioned at the INQNET-Caltech labs. Credit: Cristián Peña, Fermilab To learn more ...
