One of the most challenging goals for researchers in the fields of nuclear and particle physics is to better understand the interactions between quarks and gluons — the building blocks of protons and ...

Experimental particle physicist Jessica Esquivel explores the beneficial collaboration between artificial intelligence and particle physics that is advancing both fields Detailed view Jessica Esquivel ...

The LHC today began running 7TeV collisions for the first time. In the instant that its detectors register the events associated with a collision, the challenges move from the hardware realm into ...

At every moment, subatomic particles stream in unfathomable numbers through your body. Each second, about 100 billion neutrinos from the sun pass through your thumbnail, and you’re bathed in a rain of ...

Recent advances in quantum technologies are rapidly emerging as powerful tools for pushing the boundaries of High Energy Physics (HEP), offering innovative paradigms for simulating quantum field ...

Software first created for basic research in particle-physics has been used to improve cancer therapy techniques that use high-energy beams of hadrons. Researchers in Germany used the GEANT4 toolkit ...

Drexel’s Department of Physics is home to faculty who are leaders in the field of particle physics. Our research spans neutrino properties, neutrino astronomy, and the search for dark matter, and our ...

Cosmic rays can help scientists do something no one else can: safely image the interior of the nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. A little after lunchtime on Friday, March 11, 2011, a ...
