Neutrinos are very mysterious particles,” says Damien Dornic, one of the co-authors of a new paper published February 12 in Nature that describes the detection of the decay products of an extremely ...

Neutrinos generated through solar fusion reactions travel effortlessly through the sun's dense core. Each specific fusion ...

The NA62 experiment is roughly 270 metres long and is housed in the TCC8 and ECN3 caverns in CERN's North Area. (Image: ...

When a neutrino bangs into another particle, it usually produces a charged particle that corresponds with its flavor. A muon neutrino produces a muon, an electron neutrino produces an electron ...

Then that flesh is stripped by physics, leaving only the ‘seed’ (muon neutrino). What we want here is that neutrino.

Two things make this particular muon (and, by extension, the neutrino that created it‚, particularly interesting. The first is its high energy level, which suggests a cosmic origin. The second ...

Over the past 25 years researchers have seen a persistent and growing discrepancy between the theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of an inherent property of the muon – its anomalous ...

"It's a very open question right now." To search for sterile neutrinos, the NOvA experiment produces a beam of one flavor of neutrino, muon neutrinos, at Fermilab and directs it toward two ...

Abe at al. (T2K Collaboration) "First measurement of the muon neutrino charged current single pion production cross section on water with the T2K near detector," Phys.Rev.D 95,1, 012010 (2017) ...

Two years ago, a neutrino collided with matter and produced a tiny particle called a muon that pinged through the underwater detector, producing flashes of blue light. The researchers worked ...

Now we know that neutrinos are not massless, and that the three flavours mix so that a neutrino produced as electron type can subsequently interact as muon or tau type. We do not know for sure that ...
