Marcel Demarteau is director of the Physics Division at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. For topics from nuclear structure to astrophysics, he shapes ORNL’s physics research agenda.
A new study clears up a discrepancy regarding the biggest contributor of unwanted background signals in specialized detectors of neutrinos.
The world’s first public benchmark dataset for the testing and evaluation of radiation detection and identification algorithms in an illicit radioactive source search campaign setting.
Collaborative work between theory and experiment has resulted in significant improvement on the constraint of the 44Ti(alpha,p)47V reaction.
Geoffrey L. Greene, a professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, who holds a joint appointment with ORNL, will be awarded the 2021 Tom Bonner Prize for Nuclear Physics from the American Physical Society.
Through a one-of-a-kind experiment at ORNL, nuclear physicists have precisely measured the weak interaction between protons and neutrons. The result quantifies the weak force theory as predicted by the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
Kübra Yeter-Aydeniz, a postdoctoral researcher, was recently named the Turkish Women in Science group’s “Scientist of the Week.”
Many interesting questions have been brought into focus with the observations of three perplexing objects.
The search for the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) provides a powerful probe of new physics in the CP violating sector.
We normally think of scintillators as materials which produce light, but what if light could also be used to produce these materials?
