Gammasphere
A photo from open sources
The gammasphere is designed to capture gamma rays, emitted by atomic nuclei. By exploring these rays, scientists will learn a lot. valuable information about the nucleus of the atom being studied.
Daya Bay neutrino experiment
A photo from open sources
Neutrinos have three fundamental forms: electron, muon, and tau – and they easily switch between them. The most elusive the transformation in this trinity belongs to the electron. Neutrino the Daya Bay experiment was created specifically for observation and studying this process.
Daya Bay Antineutrino Detector
A photo from open sources
The previous shot showed the outside of the Daya Detector Bay Now we are going inside. What you see on the surfaces of its internal walls are photomultiplier tubes, designed to “amplify and record weak light flashes, evidence of antineutrino interactions. ”
Advanced Test Reactor Core
A photo from open sources
Is it really real? Or is it a futuristic dream? Maybe, a little of both. When they receive power, fuel Test core plates emit a bluish “Cherenkov glow”, giving an ethereal look to the water in which they are immersed. Reactor has been working for almost half a century, and has given most of the world famous data on the reactions of materials and fuels to highly radioactive Wednesday It is currently used for nuclear testing. fuel for future space engines.
Sandia Z-machine
