SINGLE-PHOTON DETECTORS: Discrete amplification dramatically improves single-photon detection

www.laserfocusworld.com | Dec 2, 2008

A new type of photodetector overcomes the limitations of avalanche photodiode technology by offering amplitude and event detection, wide dynamic range, and flat spectral response, while eliminating the external quenching circuit.

LHC Success!

rss.slashdot.org | Sep 10, 2008

Tomahawk writes "It worked! The LHC was turned on this morning and has been shown to have worked. Engineers cheered as the proton particles completed their first circuit of the underground ring which houses the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). (And we're all still alive, too!

The SNO Homepage

The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) results have provided revolutionary insight into the properties of neutrinos and the core of the sun. The detector, shown in the artist's conception below, was built 6800 feet under ground, in INCO's Creighton mine near Sudbury, Ontario.
