Iowa State physicist to test next-generation neutrino detector for major experiment (7/24/2011)

Iowa State physicist to test next-generation neutrino detector for major experimentIowa State University's Mayly Sanchez has won a National Science Foundation early career grant that allows her to contribute to the proposed $900 million Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment. Sanchez is working to develop new, better and cheaper photodetectors that will help physicists pick up the faint trails of neutrinos, subatomic particles that normally race through matter without leaving a trace. ...> Full Article


Neutrinos change flavors while crossing Japan (6/19/2011)

By shooting a beam of neutrinos through a small slice of the Earth under Japan, physicists say they've caught the particles changing their stripes in new ways. These observations may one day help explain why the universe is made of matter rather than anti-matter. ...> Full Article


Small particle means big research for international physics project (2/20/2011)

Glenn Horton-Smith, associate professor of physics, is leading the Kansas State University portion of the exploration on the Double Chooz neutrino detector, located in the Ardennes region of northern France. The detector measures neutrinos from the nearby Chooz nuclear power plant. ...> Full Article



Construction of the world's largest neutrino observatory completed (12/24/2010)

Construction of the world's largest neutrino observatory completedCulminating a decade of planning, innovation and testing, construction of the world's largest neutrino observatory, installed in the ice of the Antarctic plateau at the geographic South Pole, was successfully completed Dec. 18, 2010, New Zealand time. ...> Full Article



IceCube neutrino observatory nears complete (9/7/2010)

IceCube neutrino observatory nears completeIn December 2010, IceCube -- the world's first kilometer-scale neutrino observatory, located beneath the Antarctic ice -- will finally be completed after two decades of planning. In an article in the journal Review of Scientific Instruments, Francis Halzen, the principal investigator of the IceCube project, and his colleague Spencer Klein of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory provide a comprehensive description of the observatory, its instrumentation and its scientific mission. ...> Full Article



Extra large galactic survey puts limits on ultralight particles (7/14/2010)

'Ghost particle' sized up by cosmologists (6/28/2010)

'Ghost particle' sized up by cosmologistsCosmologists at UCL are a step closer to determining the mass of the elusive neutrino particle, not by using a giant particle detector, but by gazing up into space. ...> Full Article


Experiment suggests difference in key neutrino and antineutrino property (6/16/2010)

Experiment suggests difference in key neutrino and antineutrino propertyScientists of Fermilab's MINOS experiment today announced the world's most precise measurement of the parameters that govern antineutrino oscillations. This mass difference parameter, called "delta m squared," is smaller by approximately 40 percent for neutrinos than for antineutrinos. However, there is a still a 5 percent probability that delta m squared is actually the same for neutrinos and antineutrinos. Theorists expected the two values to be the same. ...> Full Article


Neutrino data to flow in 2010; NOvA scientists tune design (1/11/2010)

Neutrino data to flow in 2010; NOvA scientists tune designPhysicists may see data by late summer from a prototype for a $278 million NOvA neutrino experiment that can yield clues to the universe's mysteries. Construction is underway on a 220-ton "integration prototype" detector and a larger 14,000-ton detector, a project of Fermilab and University of Minnesota. About 40 scientists will fine-tune design Jan. 8-10 at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, their first meeting since the US Department of Energy's October approval of "full construction start." ...> Full Article


Scientists shed light on a mysterious particle (12/16/2009)

Grant to design neutrino detector (10/17/2009)

A consortium led by UC Davis physics professor Robert Svoboda will design the world's largest neutrino detector under a $4.4 million contract recently awarded by the National Science Foundation. ...> Full Article


To understand the universe, science calls on the ultrasmall (8/18/2009)

To understand the universe, science calls on the ultrasmallA special three-day symposium focusing on the neutrino, a strange subatomic particle that could help answer some of the universe's most compelling questions, is scheduled for Aug. 16-18 at the 238th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Washington, D.C. ...> Full Article


NuTeV anomaly helps shed light on physics of the nucleus (7/2/2009)

A new calculation clarifies the complicated relationship between protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus and offers a fascinating resolution of the famous NuTeV Anomaly. The calculation, published in the journal Physical Review Letters on June 26, was carried out by a collaboration of researchers from the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, Tokai University and the University of Washington. ...> Full Article


Einstein's relativity survives neutrino test (10/18/2008)

Physicists working to disprove "Lorentz invariance" -- Einstein's prediction that matter and massless particles will behave the same no matter how they're turned or how fast they go -- won't get that satisfaction from muon neutrinos, at least for the time being, says a consortium of scientists. ...> Full Article
