kg, we have ' t 0.0079 sec, and ' X 0 km, which are the traveling time and the traveling distance of neutrinos in a superluminal state respectively obtained from Eqs.(16) and (17). DOE ExplainsВ offers straightforward explanations of key words and concepts in fundamental science. , which means that the muon neutrino travels in a FTL state as observed by the experiment.

Hunting for Neutrinos: When the Ordinary is Unexpected Motivated by the tentative observation of superluminal neutrinos by the OPERA experiment, we present a model of active-sterile neutrino oscillations in which sterile neutrinos are superluminal and active neutrinos appear superluminal by virtue of neutrino mixing.The idea is, the proton beam at CERN creates a beam of neutrinos. The OPERA experiment is part of CERN, and is an experiment meant to study neutrino flavor oscillations. As many people have now heard, the OPERA collaboration is reporting a very surprising observation. Neutrinos change between types as they travel, something scientists call neutrino oscillation. Superluminal neutrinos - a case study in how good science is done.Scientists named the three types of neutrinos they have discovered so far for the other matter particle they interact with: the electron neutrino, muon neutrino, and tau neutrino.Still other neutrino experiments, including NOvA and the upcoming international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, study a phenomenon called вЂњneutrino oscillation,вЂќ which looks at how mass differs between different types of neutrinos. Scientists are using the MAJORANA Demonstrator experiment deep under the EarthвЂ™s surface to determine whether neutrinos are their own antiparticle or not. Other experiments, including PROSPECT and the Fermilab Short-Baseline Neutrino program, use neutrinos from reactors and accelerators to search for unknown types of neutrinos beyond the three that scientists have discovered so far. Title: A Search for Muon Neutrino to Electron Neutrino Oscillations in the Minos Exper Item Condition: New. For example, the KATRIN experiment aims to directly measure the neutrino mass. Author: Juan Pedro Ochoa Ricoux ISBN 10: 1441979484. TodayвЂ™s investments continue that legacy through experiments and U.S.-hosted international facilities. The Department of EnergyвЂ™s support for neutrino science has led to many surprising-and Nobel Prize winning-discoveries.

DOE Office of Science: Contributions to Neutrino Science Some scientists think neutrinos might be why all antimatter (the antiparticles of all matter) disappeared after the Big Bang, leaving us in a universe made of matter. A particular Fermi-point-splitting (FPS) model is proposed, which allows, for finite values of the three-momentum, the group and phase velocities of the muon-flavor neutrino in vacuum to be superluminal (i.e., muon-neutrino velocities greater than c, the velocity of light in vacuum). Today, scientists are trying to determine the neutrinoвЂ™s mass, how it interacts with matter, and whether the neutrino is its own antiparticle (a particle with the same mass but opposite electric or magnetic properties) or not. Theorists predicted the neutrinoвЂ™s existence in 1930, but it took experimenters 26 years to discover the particle. Tens of trillions of neutrinos from the sun stream through your body every second, but you canвЂ™t feel them. Once produced, these ghostly particles almost never interact with other matter. Even a banana emits neutrinos-they come from the natural radioactivity of the potassium in the fruit. Because the muon neutrinos which OPERA Collaboration launched were given an impulse more than 'mc/2', they entered into Minus world and did superluminal motion in there without going against the special theory of relativity. Every time atomic nuclei come together (like in the sun) or break apart (like in a nuclear reactor), they produce neutrinos. Neutrinos are the most abundant particles that have mass in the universe. ) KGF detector (Menon, Miyake et al.The neutrino is perhaps the best-named particle in the Standard Model of Particle Physics: it is tiny, neutral, and weighs so little that no one has been able to measure its mass. First recorded events in deep mines with electronic detectors, 1965: CWI detector (Reines et al.Greisen (1960) suggests water Cherenkov detector in deep mine as a neutrino telescope for extraterrestrial neutrinos.Markov (1960) suggests Cherenkov light in deep lake or ocean to detect atmospheric n interactions for neutrino physics.Historical context Detection of atmospheric neutrinos
