Minerals are solid state nuclear track detectors - nuclear recoils in a mineral leave latent damage to the crystal structure. Depending on the mineral and its temperature, the damage features are retained in the material from minutes to timescales much larger than the age of the Solar System. The damage features from the fission fragments left by spontaneous fission of heavy unstable isotopes...

scattering at the Institut Laue-Langevin nuclear reactor in Grenoble, France. The experiment is expected to start data-taking in 2024 with two complementary detector technologies, both employing cryogenic calorimeters. One of the two detector technologies envisaged by Ricochet has a target mass consisting of... -

Over 50 years ago, it was predicted that it is possible to split an atom with a neutrino interaction, but there has never been a concerted experimental effort to confirm this phenomenon. The existence of this process would inform nuclear astrophysics, nuclear reactor monitoring and give a vantage into a process that bridges both the weak and strong fundamental interactions. This would add the...
