60-Year-Old Physics Theory Proven by IceCube Detection of a High-Energy Particle
On December 6, 2016, a high-energy particle hurtled to Earth from outer space at close to the speed of light. The particle, an electron antineutrino,…

The South Pole neutrino detector saw a Glashow resonance event, a phenomenon predicted by Nobel laureate physicist Sheldon Glashow in 1960 where an electron antineutrino…
Russian researchers trace high-energy neutrino origins to black holes in far-off quasars. Russian astrophysicists have come close to solving the mystery of where high-energy neutrinos…
The Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment (PROSPECT) has completed the installation of a novel antineutrino detector that will probe the possible existence of a…
The Daya Bay Neutrino experiment, recognized by Science magazine as a runner-up for the breakthrough of the year, is helping physicists explain why the universe…
Initial results from BaBar data suggest that a particular type of particle decay called “B to D-star-tau-nu” happens more often than the Standard Model says…
MINOS scientists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory revealed the world’s most precise measurement of the parameter called delta m squared, closing the measured gap…
Searching for the answer to the question of whether neutrinos are their own antiparticles, the MAJORANA Collaboration has an underground experiment that could rewrite the…
After tens of thousands of interactions of electron antineutrinos at Daya Bay, data revealed a new type of neutrino oscillation, which was measured with unmatched…
