Other scientists had previously suggested that this isotope would be a good candidate for studying electron capture as an analog to measuring neutrino mass. In electron capture, the heavier ...

New experiments on thallium decay have helped determine the Sun formed over 10–20 million years, improving stellar ...

A muon neutrino produces a muon, an electron neutrino produces an electron, and a tau neutrino produces a tau. Neutrinos with a muon flavor have the most distinctive signature, so my colleagues ...

At the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory in Ontario, Canada, McDonald encountered a similar oddity. The lab was measuring the electron neutrinos that come directly from the sun, but the captured number of ...

These neutrino oscillation parameters are fundamental physical constants in the same way that the mass and charge of the electron are fundamental. Neutrino research, because of the scale, cost and ...

Neutrinos come in three flavour states (electron, muon and tau), and since the 1990s we have known that a neutrino can change flavour as it travels. This astonishing phenomenon is due to quantum ...

Guido Barbiellini Amidei, who passed away on 15 November 2024, made fundamental contributions to both particle physics and ...

The short-lived \(W^{-}\) boson decays, forming an electron (charge =\(-1\)) and an electron neutrino (charge = 0). The proton, electron, and the antineutrino move away from one another emitting ...

So far, IceCube, whose construction was completed over 10 years ago, has enabled significant advancements in cosmic-neutrino ...
