New Findings on the Flow of Particles in Heavy Ion Collisions
The Science Scientists ran a comprehensive analysis of data from collisions of heavy ions (the nuclei of atoms) to determine which factors most influence fluctuations in the flow of particles. They found…
Brookhaven’s Navid Vafaei-Najafabadi Awarded Prestigious NSF Early CAREER Grant
Newswise — Navid Vafaei-Najafabadi is a scientist who wears many hats. At Stony Brook University, he is an assistant professor in Department of Physics and Astronomy and leads the Plasma…
Fast light pulse triggers charge transfer into water
Newswise — In certain molecules, the so-called photoacids, a proton can be released locally by excitation with light. There is a sudden change in the pH value in the solution…
DUNE collaboration tests new technology for second detector module
Newswise — In recent months, the neutrino research facility at the European laboratory CERN has been bustling with activity. Scientists, engineers and technicians from around the world have gathered there…
DUNE collaboration ready to ramp up mass production for first detector module
Newswise — Preparations for the construction of the first detector module of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment are rapidly progressing. Members of the international DUNE collaboration have begun the final…
Quantifying the Effects of Simulation Mixing State on Aerosol Optical Properties
The Science Particles in the atmosphere affect global climate. For example, the black carbon from burning fossil fuels absorbs and radiates light and heat. To calculate the effects of aerosols…
Signs of Gluon Saturation Emerge from Particle Collisions
The Science Nuclear physicists collide protons with heavier ions (atomic nuclei) to explore the fundamental constituents that make up those ions. By tracking particles that stream out of the collisions, they can…
New Type of Entanglement Lets Scientists ‘See’ Inside Nuclei
The Science Nuclear physicists have found a new way to see details inside atomic nuclei. They do so by tracking interactions between particles of light and gluons—the gluelike particles that…
Imaging the Proton with Neutrinos
The Science Protons and neutrons, the building blocks of atomic nuclei, are themselves made up of strongly interacting quarks and gluons“>quarks and gluons. Because the interactions are so strong, the structure…
