ENTRANCE Project officially launched on 13 October 2020!
Press release The ENTRANCE project on EfficieNT Risk-bAsed iNspection of freight Crossing bordErs without disrupting business was officially launched on 13 October 2020! As gatekeepers of EU borders, customs authorities have seen their mission to detect and seize maximum amounts of illicit goods on their way to enter the EU become increasingly challenging. New threats have emerged, […]
The intrinsically pervasive role of CAEN Multihit Digital TDC to HAWC tests speed of light
Whenever engineering creates, manufactures and markets products and services for our- society, we realize that its practical utility is realized to the extent that efforts fall into the indispensable role of knowledge and tools of electronics. The result that well expresses the “intrinsically pervasive” role of this discipline, and how it has managed to respond […]
COVID-19 Flights restrictions: cargo flights fully operational
With the current evolving Covid-19 virus situation in Europe many passenger flights to and from Italy have been reduced or prohibited. We at CAEN want to clarify that the above-mentioned flights are of a commercial nature and do not apply to the movement of goods. All cargo flights in and out of Italy are fully […]

In this news we present the official results of the background reduction obtained thanks to the CAEN FlexiSpec acquisition system installed at the Whole Body Counter (WBC) laboratory at the Joint Research Center (JRC) in Ispra. The results of the upgraded WBC at JRC Ispra The Whole Body Counter (WBC) at the Joint Research Centre […]
INAIL mentioned MICADO as good practice of a digitization process
The Istituto Nazionale per l’Assicurazione contro gli Infortuni sul Lavoro or INAIL (‘National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work’) is the Italian authority appointed to monitor and authorize the activities concerning ionizing radiation sources. Recently INAIL wants to update the procedures for handling industrial high activity sources. In particular, the aim of this update […]
CAEN Educational is flying up Update 26/01/2020
In Château-d’Oex on January 25th, Hans Peter Beck (University of Bern and Fribourg, and CERN) will repeat with some of his students the balloon flight of Albert Gockel from 1909 (with modern equipment using CAEN Cosmic Hunter), and measure cosmic rays. Students from Uni Fribourg are estimating and then measuring the flux of cosmic muons […]

CAEN has joined to Eduroam Network as Resource Provider
CAEN has joined, as a Resource Provider, the EDUROAM Federation (EDUcation ROAMing) with its wireless network, which aims to offer all users of participating organizations easy and secure wireless access to the Internet. On the one hand this service facilitates the free mobility of students, teachers and researchers, on the other it marks an important […]
NA62 spots two potential instances of rare particle decay
On September 23rd 2019, the NA62 experiment at CERN announced the measurement of other two K+ → π+ ν ν decays after the first one announced back in 2018 (NA62 sees hints of rare kaon decay). These measurements are useful to shine light on dark matter, as hints of new physics beyond standard model can hide in rare decays as […]
CAEN Educational for young researchers @ European Space Agency
The EIROforum School on Instrumentation (ESI) is a biennial event, jointly organized by the Instrumentation Working Group of the EIROforum organizations. The objective of ESI is to teach the basic principles of instrumentation to young researchers (PhD students, postdocs) and engineers from the EIRO organizations, companies, and institutes from Europe and beyond.The sixth school (ESI 2019) took place from […]
MICADO, European Project for The Monitoring of Radioactive Waste, Kicks Off
Standardize the management of radioactive waste, starting from their non-destructive characterization to transport, storage and real-time monitoring. This is the objective of the MICADO Project (Measurement and Instrumentation for Cleaning and Decommissioning Operations), started on June 3, thanks to Euratom funding, and to the synergy between 8 European partners with solid experience in the field of radioactive waste, […]
Rarest decay process ever measured – XENON1T experiment
XENON1T experiment observed the rarest decay process ever measured; this detector that was designed to probe dark matter, the ‘missing’ mass in the Universe, has seen an elusive nuclear decay called two-neutrino double electron capture — with implications for nuclear and particle physics. Read the full article on nature.com What is XENON1T Experiment XENON experiment is […]
