An international team of scientists has for the first time detected neutrinos created by a particle collider.
The discovery, announced March 19 by the Forward Search Experiment — or FASER collaboration — at the 57th Rencontres de Moriond Electroweak and Unified Theories conference in Italy, promises to deepen scientists’ understanding of the nature of neutrinos, which are the most abundant particle in the cosmos. FASER’s detector picked up neutrinos... Read more
