Neutrinos may be nearly invisible, but they play a starring role in the Universe. Long-standing anomalies had hinted at a ...

Neutrino oscillations, a quantum phenomenon in which neutrinos change their flavour during propagation, have long intrigued physicists due to their role in elucidating the mass hierarchy and ...

Physicists are closing in on one of the most persistent mysteries in particle physics: whether a hidden kind of neutrino is ...

Neutrino physics remains a pivotal area in the quest to unravel fundamental aspects of particle behaviour and the evolution of the universe. Neutrinos—elusive, nearly massless particles—are known to ...

A joint effort between two of the world’s largest neutrino experiments has brought scientists closer to understanding how the universe survived its violent beginnings. The findings could reveal why ...

Why does the Universe exist instead of having been annihilated shortly after its birth? This fundamental question in physics ...

Neutrinos are tiny elementary particles. These particles, which come in three flavors, have the unusual ability to periodically change their flavor from one to another via neutrino oscillations.

High-precision measurements from the KATRIN experiment strongly limit the existence of light sterile neutrinos and narrow the search for new physics. Neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect, yet ...

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 ...

The American Physical Society has named William & Mary physicist Patricia Vahle a 2020 APS Fellow. Vahle, a professor in the university’s Department of Physics, was nominated by the APS Division of ...

(Boston) — A team of nearly 100 physicists from around the world have achieved results verifying that the elementary particle known as the neutrino exhibits a distinctive pattern of oscillation. This ...
