Testing Einstein's laws from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea

Researchers from the KM3NeT collaboration analysed 5,828 atmospheric neutrino events to test for violations of Lorentz invariance, finding no evidence but setting new limits on possible effects. The results are promising for future studies of neutrino oscillations and potential discrete spacetime.

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.
