They were building a particle detector, with some powerful superconducting magnets.

He had just invented the particle detector.

So scientists are working to build a different kind of sub-atomic particle detector, one no bigger than a semi-truck.

Endeavour's mission is to deliver the $2 billion Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer particle detector to the International Space Station.

The centre will be attached to the ATLAS particle detector - part of the world's largest physics machine, Europe's Large Hadron Collider.

They are virtual particles , like the particles that carry the forces: unlike real particles , they cannot be observed directly with a particle detector.

A particle detector deep under an Italian mountainside has detected direct evidence of a crucial part of the Sun's fusion process for the first time.

The AMS will be able to detect particles that are normally filtered by the Earth's atmosphere, and will also be the only orbiting particle detector.

Wefel's team sent a balloon carrying the "ATIC" particle detector aloft over Antarctica, where it measured the telltale charges and energies of electrons.

Quanta Magazine spoke with Arvanitaki about her plan to use black holes as particle detectors.

They have come into operation much more smoothly than is usual for highly complex particle detectors.

For decades, scientists have been building larger and larger particle detectors with greater and greater sensitivities.

Its fraas and suurs worked in shifts, sitting in total darkness waiting to see flashes of light from a vast array of crystalline particle detectors.
