Depictions of the Roman goddess of wisdom Minerva show her in flowing robes, wearing a noble war helmet and holding an owl. In contrast, the MINERvA experiment features a huge particle detector with ...
Understanding neutrino interactions is crucial for obtaining a complete picture of particle physics and the universe. To date, neutrino interaction cross sections have not been measured at high energy ...
With an improved beam and new detectors, the international collaboration T2K has begun to collect more accurate data than ever before for its world leading neutrino oscillation research. Physicists at ...
When massive stars reach the end of their lives, something strange and violent happens deep inside them. As they run out of fuel, their cores begin to collapse under their own weight. But this ...

In space, energetic neutrinos are usually paired with energetic gamma rays. Galaxy NGC 1068, however, emits strong neutrinos and weak gamma rays, which presents a puzzle for scientists to solve. A new ...
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) - Researchers at South Dakota Mines have completed the first measurement of a rare particle interaction that could help scientists understand why the universe contains more ...
Most ordinary matter is held together by an invisible subatomic glue known as the strong nuclear force — one of the four fundamental forces in nature, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the ...
An international team of researchers, including the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU, WPI), has used a mismatch between elementary particles and gamma rays ...
