India's ambitious Neutrino Observatory project in Tamil Nadu lies in limbo after two decades of preparation, facing political ...

Crews at the Sanford Lab installed a 60-foot skip cage, with an 18-ton hoist over the Ross Shaft this week.  The cage was ...

A recent Physical Review Letters publication presents a thorough analysis of MicroBooNE detector data, investigating the anomalous surplus of neutrino-like events detected by the preceding MiniBooNE ...

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 ...

A new estimate of the ghostly particle’s maximum possible mass brings physicists a tad closer to understanding the universe. By Katrina Miller Katrina Miller studied neutrinos in graduate school, but ...

In late 2023, Wojciech Brylinski was analyzing data from the NA61/SHINE collaboration at CERN for his thesis when he noticed an unexpected anomaly—a strikingly large imbalance between charged and ...

In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.—Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Humans have many ...

ABSTRACT: The Standard Model of particle physics assumes that fundamental fermions are point particles with zero radius, no spatial dimensions, and infinite matter density. This alternative model ...

(Reuters) - Using an observatory under construction deep beneath the Mediterranean Sea near Sicily, scientists have detected a ghostly subatomic particle called a neutrino boasting record-breaking ...

A neutrino from space recently plunged into the Mediterranean Sea with an energy that blows all other known neutrinos out of the water. Packing a punch of some 220 million billion electron volts, this ...

ON FEBRUARY 13th 2023 an object with extraterrestrial origins went screaming through the Mediterranean Sea off the Sicilian coast. A single, super-energetic subatomic particle left a sparkling trail ...

The first direct measurement of the size of the neutrino, a fundamental particle, suggests they are at least larger than an atomic nucleus – but they could potentially be trillions of times larger.
