Before a detector component can head to its forever home, it has to pass the test. If building a modern particle physics experiment is a marathon, then visiting a test beam facility is the 100-meter ...

I am a high-energy physicist, and I have been working for many years on CMS, one of the experiments at the LHC accelerator in Geneva that have found the Higgs Boson, and continues to search for signs ...

Abstract: In this report, the assembly and analysis of a low cost, low mass GEM detector is presented. The detector we designed is optimized for use in the upcoming Electron Ion Collider (EIC) as a ...
