Optimization of the light detection system of the ICARUS detector
new Abstract: The ICARUS detector, a key component of the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) Program at Fermi National Acelerator Laboratory (FNAL), is a 600-ton Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) equipped with a Light Detection System (LDS) that uses 360 Hamamatsu R5912-MOD 8-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), specifically designed to operate under cryogenic conditions ($\sim 87 \ K$). These PMTs feed the trigger signal to the readout, improve the spatial and timing resolution of the...
One of our planets may be missing, and it could explain why the solar system looks the way it does
June 1, 2026 report One of our planets may be missing, and it could explain why the solar system looks the way it does Paul Arnold Author Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Our solar system has two ice giants, Uranus and Neptune, but there may have been a third. According to a new study published in the journal Icarus, this extra world might have triggered a violent planetary shuffling billions of years ago that could have disrupted some of Jupiter's and Uranus's...
Enhanced Ionization Charge Identification in the Short-Baseline Neutrino Program Neutrino Detectors with Deep Neural Networks
arXiv:2605.18861v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present a deep neural net-based region of interest detection method (DNN ROI) for signal processing in the liquid argon time projection chambers of the Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) Program, SBND and ICARUS. DNN ROI addresses limitations of the traditional wire-by-wire thresholding algorithm by leveraging the full two-dimensional detector readout and cross-plane matching information. To account for detector performance variations, we...
Former Air Canada pilot flew hundreds of flights without proper license, police say
A former pilot flew commercial planes for nearly 17 years allegedly without the required license, Ontario police said. A “complex fraud and forgery investigation” uncovered that a commercial airline pilot who spent the entirety of his career — from 1998 to 2025 — flying planes for Air Canada, had forged a license required of him when he was promoted to captain in 2009. The investigation, dubbed “Project Icarus,” suggests “a deliberate effort to circumvent systems designed to safeguard the...
ExoMars rover targets vast bed of clay in search for life
ExoMars rover targets vast bed of clay in search for life Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor In the region where the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover will search for signs of life, clay deposits extend beyond previous estimates, a new study finds. One hypothesis even suggests a vast ocean once covered the landing site. Clay minerals require liquid water to form and hold clues of a time when the red planet was wetter and more hospitable to life.
2 giant 'super Earths' once orbited near Uranus and Neptune, messed up a bunch of moons, then vanished, new study hints
2 giant 'super Earths' once orbited near Uranus and Neptune, messed up a bunch of moons, then vanished, new study hints Our solar system may have hosted up to six giant planets in its first hundred million years, a new study suggests. The findings paint a more crowded picture of the early outer solar system than previously thought. Something doesn’t quite add up about the orbits of our solar system’s eight planets and their hundreds of moons, a new study hints.
The Moons of Uranus May Hold the Key to Finding Missing Planets
We have an idea of what the solar system's past was like: It was violent and chaotic. However, we are still studying how violent it was. Current models suggest that at some point after their formation, the giant planets went through a phase of such extreme instability that one or even two bodies the size of Uranus or Neptune were ejected into interstellar space.
Can solar sails really send humans out into interstellar space?
Can solar sails really send humans out into interstellar space? "I think these are not far-out type of ideas; they are not really futuristic ideas that we are talking about." If humankind ever travels to distant stars, we might sail there — and it might be sooner than you think.
Former Air Canada captain accused of flying for years without the correct license
"Safety was not compromised by this incident because all pilots at Air Canada undergo mandatory recurrent training every six months to validate their flying competency," Air Canada said. Police in Canada say a former Air Canada captain accused of flying hundreds of flights without an appropriate license has been arrested and charged. Geoffrey Wall, 59, is facing several fraud-related charges after investigators alleged he used forged pilot licences over the course of his career.
