Dual-Cathode CsI Covered Microstrip Plate as VUV High Efficiency Photosensor [PDF]
A Gas Proportional Scintillation Counter based on a dual-cathode Microstrip Plate covered with a CsI film is described. This new dual-cathode technique has the advantage of increasing the VUV sensitive area of the Microstrip Plate. A detailed description

Energy loss of high energy cosmic rays in a liquid scintillator [PDF]
The characteristics of a large-area liquid scintillation counter are investigated and the uniformity of response of the counter over its area is measured and compared with theory.

Invisible Labor and the “Ghost Particle”: Underground Physics at the Kolar Gold Fields**
Abstract When cosmic rays—high‐energy particles from outer space—encounter the Earth's atmosphere, they produce particles called neutrinos. To detect them, physicists go underground inside deep mines where the overlying rock can filter out the cosmic‐ray background radiation.

Workflow of current study. ABSTRACT Malaria remains a significant public health challenge in Niger, accounting for 5.6% of global malaria‐related deaths. Local medicinal plants are frequently used as traditional treatments for malaria, although their efficacy and safety are often insufficiently investigated.

Simulation of Scintillator Counters with Embedded Wavelength-Shifting Fibers [PDF]
We describe a complete end-to-end simulation of the response of scintillator counters to charged particles. The counters were extruded with a titanium dioxide surface coating and two channels for the embedded wavelength-shifting fibers which are read out by silicon photomultipliers.
