Physicists have analyzed how neutrinos change 'flavor' as they travel through the cosmos, gaining insights into their masses and evolution. The study's findings hint at possible Charge-Parity violation in neutrinos and their antimatter counterparts, with researchers seeking more data to answer fundamental questions about the universe.
Researchers found that neutrino flavor transformations alter the composition and signals of what's left after a neutron star collision, impacting the creation of heavy metals and rare earth elements. The simulations also influenced the matter ejected from the merger and electromagnetic emissions detectable from Earth.
Physicist Matthias Schott is developing a dedicated neutrino detector for the LHC that can handle high data transfer rates, enabling researchers to study high-energy neutrinos. The detector uses GridPix technology and may reveal new insights into neutrino interactions, including potential evidence of anti-tau neutrinos.
The Super-Kamiokande and T2K Collaborations present a joint measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters using atmospheric and beam neutrino data. The analysis finds a 1.9𝜎 exclusion of 𝐶𝑃 conservation and a 1.2𝜎 exclusion of the inverted mass ordering.
A team of researchers from Chiba University successfully measured the interaction rates of high-energy electron and muon neutrinos using the FASERν detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The study marked the first direct observation of these interactions at a particle collider, providing new insights into particle physics.
Researchers have found that neutrinos and antineutrinos behave differently, providing a possible explanation for the universe's dominant matter content. The T2K experiment detected subtle discrepancies in their oscillation rates, shedding light on physics' deepest mysteries.
Researchers from the University of Cincinnati have joined forces with international efforts to search for a new type of neutrino that may shed light on dark matter. The MINOS and Daya Bay experiments have found no evidence of a sterile neutrino, but their combined results significantly shrink the hiding space for this elusive particle.
Researchers at the South Pole have discovered 35 high-energy neutrinos originating from distant regions of space, offering insights into the universe's most abundant particles. The IceCube detector has analyzed 5,200 interactions between atmospheric neutrinos and ice atoms, confirming quantum fluctuations that change neutrino types.
The MINOS experiment at Fermilab recorded 62 electron neutrino-like events, constraining the transformation of muon neutrinos into electron neutrinos to a narrow range. This result is consistent with and improves upon previous measurements, potentially shedding light on the universe's matter-antimatter imbalance.
An international research team, including CU-Boulder, has discovered that muon neutrinos can spontaneously change their flavor to electron neutrinos, a finding that may help explain why the universe is mostly made of matter rather than antimatter.
The T2K experiment has detected six muon neutrinos transforming into electron neutrinos during their journey from a Japanese accelerator to a detector. This finding is significant as it may help explain why the universe has more matter than anti-matter.
Physicists tested Einstein's prediction that matter and massless particles would behave the same under different conditions. The experiment, led by Indiana University astrophysicist Stuart Mufson, found no evidence of a violation of Lorentz invariance, confirming relativity's validity.
The MiniBooNE experiment resolves questions raised by the LSND [3] experiment in the 1990s that appeared to contradict findings of other neutrino experiments worldwide. The results conclusively show that the LSND results could not be due to simple neutrino oscillation, clarifying the overall picture of how neutrinos behave.
The MINOS collaboration has observed a significant fraction of muon neutrinos disappear, consistent with neutrino oscillation. This finding indicates that neutrinos have some mass, which helps explain how galaxies formed and the origin of matter in the universe.
A team of Japanese and American physicists have found evidence of mass and oscillations in neutrinos, elementary particles with the smallest mass yet. The discovery comes from Super-Kamiokande experiment and confirms an anomaly uncovered in 1985, resolving a long-standing mystery in particle physics.
