The Bolshoi simulation

Posted on July 6, 2012 by PlatoHagel

A virtual world?  The more complex the data base the more accurate one’s simulation is achieved. The point is though that you have to capture scientific processes through calorimeter examinations just as you do in the LHC. So these backdrops … Continue reading →

Cassiopeia A

Posted on September 29, 2011 by PlatoHagel

In conclusion, we have a rich panorama of experiments that all make use of neutrinos as probes of exotic phenomena as well as processes which we have to measure better to gain understanding of fundamental physics as well as gather … Continue reading →

Geo-neutrinos

Posted on April 22, 2011 by PlatoHagel

The main geophysical and geochemical processes that have driven the evolution of the Earth are strictly bound by the planet̓s energy budget. The current flux of energy entering the Earth’s atmosphere is well known: the main contribution comes from solar … Continue reading →

Lighting up the dark universe

Posted on July 30, 2010 by PlatoHagel

The CHASE detector. The end of the magnet (orange) can be seen on the right. Exploring our dark universe is often the domain of extreme physics. Traces of dark matter particles are searched for by huge neutrino telescopes located underwater … Continue reading →

SuperCDMS An Improvement on Detection

Posted on December 14, 2009 by PlatoHagel

So far no WIMP interaction has been observed, so the sensitivity needs to be improved further. This will be achieved by increasing the total detector mass (and with this the probability that a WIMP interacts in the detector) and at … Continue reading →
