Innovative new detector to hunt for neutrinos

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.

First measurement of electron- and muon-neutrino interaction rates at the highest energy ever detected from an artificial source

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.
