It now takes just a fraction of a minute to detect neutron star mergers, thanks to advancements in a machine-learning-driven approach to astronomy.

We explain this phenomenon through Monte Carlo simulations, analysing neutron-silicon interactions and the indirect energy deposition in sensitive volumes resembling the two mechanisms, showing that ...
