Saphir and CCHEN seek to determine how much electronics designed for Atlas fail when subjected to high radiation doses

In an experiment conducted at the Reina Nuclear Studies Center, a team from the Saphir Millennium Institute subjected two electronic cards to a radiation dose equivalent to that which they would receive after 10 years of operation in the Atlas experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. This test will make it possible to determine, among other things, whether the electronics […]
The "Atomic Girls" tutors start their training!

Five students majoring in physics, astronomy, and astrophysics attended their first training session today to become mentors for female high school students who will learn how to detect muons at home and at school. The “Atomic Girls” workshop aims to provide cross-disciplinary tools to help girls in whatever field they choose to pursue… Although it would be wonderful […]
