To learn more about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, physicists smash high-energy particles together in large accelerator machines, creating sprays of millions of particles per second of ...

For three decades, a riddle has followed neutrinos, the near-weightless particles that stream through Earth by the trillions each second. They change identities as they fly, shifting among three known ...

Scientists working on the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have identified the detector’s first neutrino interactions. The detector has been been planned, ...

Experimental particle physicists working at the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory have found evidence against the existence of a "sterile" type of neutrino hypothesized ...

Batavia, Ill.-Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have found a surprising discrepancy between predictions for the behavior of neutrinos and the way the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The inside of the MiniBooNE neutrino detector. A precision test at Fermilab finds no sign of a fourth neutrino, ruling out the ...

Researechers are testing superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs) for use in future particle physics exepriments. The detectors, which were designed and fabricated at JPL and ...

Display of a candidate muon neutrino interaction observed by the Short-Baseline Near Detector. When a neutrino enters SBND and interacts with an argon nucleus, it creates a spray of charged particles ...
