Work in progress: anode plane assembly modules for ProtoDune, which is a prototype of the DUNE neutrino detector that operates at CERN. DUNE could benefit from this new research into neutrino ...
Located in China, Juno is a 17-country collaboration that will try to detect neutrinos and antineutrinos to learn more about their mass.
Deploying a telescope in space is one thing. Making two of them deep under the sea is a task in a league of its own. On a ship bobbing in the Mediterranean Sea, physicists — not typically known for ...
Particle physicists have gone to great lengths — including rowing onto the dark waters of a swimming pool-sized water tank and setting up a base in the Antarctic — to understand one of the universe’s ...
Humble neutrinos — electrically neutral particles that glide through the universe, unaffected by the forces of nature — have helped to shape the cosmos. They play a role in nuclear fusion, radioactive ...
Neutrinos are one of the most enigmatic particles in the standard model. The main reason is that they're so hard to detect. Despite the fact that 400 trillion of them created in the sun are passing ...
To understand neutrinos, it pays to be small-minded. The subatomic particles are so lightweight, they’re almost massless. They’re a tiny fraction of the mass of the next lightest particle, the ...
The IceCube Laboratory at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica is the world's largest neutrino detector. Its computers collect raw data on neutrino activity from sensors in the ice that ...
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 ...
Scientists from the University of Washington and other institutions around the world say they’ve reduced the upper limit for the mass of the neutrino by half. Thanks to findings from the Karlsruhe ...
Neutrino detector finds new type of "ghost particle" from the Sun By Michael Irving December 01, 2020 The giant nylon balloon of the Borexino neutrino detector in Italy measures around 30 ft (9 m) in ...
