Physicists Propose Novel Method to Catch Neutrinos

Michael D. Wheeler

For years, scientists have sought the elusive, weightless particles known as neutrinos. Neutrinos, which behave somewhat like photons (they can travel without changing direction through matter), are weakly interacting particles and so can travel much longer without interacting with interstellar matter. They are thought by some theorists to hold clues to the origins of the universe. Now two physicists from Columbia University have proposed building a telescope with a magnetic spectrometer that may threaten the logic behind traditional neutrino-detection schemes. Physicists typically hunt for...Read full article
