Creating Quiet Cables for Rare Physics Events
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Background radioactivity from cables in equipment for ultra-precise physics experiments can impair those experiments. To address this challenge, scientists examined the radioactive contaminants introduced when cables are produced and identified alternative methods of cleaning and preparing the cables to reduce the amount of uranium-238 and thorium-232. The resulting cables will aid future physics experiments.
