 Long-Term Testing and Properties of Acrylic for the Daya Bay Antineutrino Detectors

by M. Krohn, B. Littlejohn, K. M. Heeger

ABSTRACT: The Daya Bay reactor antineutrino experiment has recently measured the neutrino

mixing parameter sin(^2)

2(theta)13 by observing electron antineutrino disappearance over kilometer-scale

baselines using six antineutrino detectors at near and far distances from reactor cores at the Daya

Bay nuclear power complex. Read more »

Leak Testing Aerospace Parts

by Austin Weber

Leaks are never good. They’re even worse if you’re flying in an aircraft at 40,000 feet. That’s why aerospace manufacturers and suppliers spend countless hours testing critical components. Fuel systems, engines, landing gear, ventilation systems and other aerospace devices that rely on numerous tanks, pumps, actuators, lines and fittings must be tested for tightness during both assembly and maintenance applications.
