Neutrino physics remains a pivotal area in the quest to unravel fundamental aspects of particle behaviour and the evolution of the universe. Neutrinos—elusive, nearly massless particles—are known to ...

The Big Bang created equal amounts of matter and antimatter. So, why is there so much more matter than antimatter in the Universe? Irfu is participating in the preparation of Hyper-Kamiokande, a ...

Researchers in Japan and the US have provided independent confirmation that neutrinos have mass and can oscillate -- or change from one type of neutrino to another. Their results show that ...

New results from the KamLAND experiment in Japan have provided the most direct evidence yet that neutrinos have mass and can oscillate between different flavours. The new evidence comes from ...

Neutrinos are tiny elementary particles. These particles, which come in three flavors, have the unusual ability to periodically change their flavor from one to another via neutrino oscillations.

(Boston) — A team of nearly 100 physicists from around the world have achieved results verifying that the elementary particle known as the neutrino exhibits a distinctive pattern of oscillation. This ...

Neutrinos are fundamental particles characterized by no electric charge and very small masses, which are known to interact with other matter via the weak force or gravity. While these particles have ...

Quantum gravity is the missing link between general relativity and quantum mechanics, the yet-to-be-discovered key to a unified theory capable of explaining both the infinitely large and the ...

The American Physical Society has named William & Mary physicist Patricia Vahle a 2020 APS Fellow. Vahle, a professor in the university’s Department of Physics, was nominated by the APS Division of ...

Years of conflicting neutrino measurements have led physicists to propose a “dark sector” of invisible particles — one that could simultaneously explain dark matter, the puzzling expansion of the ...
