Afterthe initial discovery of neutrinos at the Savannah River reactor, scientists turned to the detection of astrophysical neutrinos from the Sun.For more than 30 years scientists have studied the flux of neutrinos produced in the fusion reactions inside the Sun. Measurements of the solar neutrino flux were first performed by Ray Davis in his experiment at the TheGargamelle experiment, for example – designed to detected neutrinos – was 4.8 metres long, 2 metres in diameter and weighed 1000 tonnes. The large CLOUD experiment at CERN today also uses a cloud chamber, to investigate the effects of cosmic rays on cloud formation. Bookmarks Virtually everything astronomers known about objects outside the solar system is based on the detection of photons—quanta of electromagnetic radiation. Yet there is another form of radiation that permeates the universe: neutrinos. With (as its name implies) no electric charge, and negligible mass, the neutrino interacts with other Detectingtau-neutrinos If the oscillations are between ν μ and ν τ , it should be possible to observe charged-current interactions of ν τ generated by neutrino oscillations. A charged-current ν τ interaction produces a tau lepton typically accompanied with several hadrons, most of which are pions. 3 There are two ways to detect a neutrino: The neutrino "collides" (i.e. interacts via the weak interaction) with a charged particle. In the interaction some of the neutrinos momentum is transferred to the charged particle. if the neutrino is sufficiently energetic and the charged particle is sufficiently light (e.g. an electron) then the Scientistshad detected the undetectable particle. But there was a lot left to learn about it. In the 1960s, astrophysicists Raymond Davis and John Bahcall measured neutrinos coming from the sun with an experiment installed in Homestake Gold Mine in South Dakota. They detected only a third as many of the particles as they expected. Sothey did the work instead at the Savannah River nuclear reactor in South Carolina, and Reines and Cowan became the first scientists to detect neutrinos. In 1995, Reines won a share of the Nobel DESY05-045 HOW TO DETECT BIG BANG RELIC NEUTRINOS?a Andreas Ringwald Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY Notkestraße 85, D–22607 Hamburg, Germany E-mail: Andreas.Ringwald@ 4 May 2005 ABSTRACT The existence of big bang relic neutrinos—exact analogues of the big bang relic photons History Neutrinos were first recorded in 1956 by Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines in an experiment employing a nearby nuclear reactor as a neutrino source. Their discovery was acknowledged with a Nobel Prize for physics in 1995.. This was followed by the first atmospheric neutrino detection in 1965 by two groups almost simultaneously. One was 1 Introduction. The detection of solar neutrinos is one of the great on-going themes of experimental neutrino physics. Almost 50 years have past since the first detection of neutrinos from solar fusion in the Homestake experiment [1], and more than a decade since the SNO experiment provided the final confirmation of their flavor-changing Forwater at room temperature, this angle is 41º. In a water Cherenkov detector, the Cherenkov radiation is detected, usually by photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and the cone of emission reconstructed. The axis of the cone gives the direction of the particle, and the light yield gives the particle energy. Only charged particles with β > 1/n can Thedetection of neutrinos from supernova (SN) 1987A (3, 4) ushered in the era of extragalactic neutrino astronomy, and high-energy (TeV) neutrinos are now being detected at redshift . Through a combination of terrestrial and astroparticle experiments, the mixing angles in the Pontecorvo–Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata (PMNS) matrix that characterize TheFASER experiment is situated 480 meters from the ATLAS interaction point at the Large Hadron Collider. According to Jonathan Feng, UCI Distinguished Professor of physics & astronomy and co Inresults published today in Science, the IceCube collaboration reports the detection of neutrinos from an “active galaxy” called NGC 1068, which lies some 47 million light-years from Earth. Becauseneutrinos are so difficult to detect, signals from sources other than the reactor can be many times more abundant than real neutrino signals if the detector is not well shielded. .
