MiniBooNE Data Clarifies Neutrino Behavior

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 18, 2007 -- The initial data from the 10-year-long “MiniBooNE” experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermilab significantly clarifies the overall picture of how the fundamental particles, neutrinos, behave and provides staunch new evidence for the idea that only three low-mass neutrino species exist. These results, reported over the past week at a Fermilab lecture and at the American Physical Society (APS) meeting in Jacksonville, Fla., seem to rule out two-way neutrino oscillations involving a hypothetical fourth type of low-mass neutrino. A neutrino signal observed by the MiniBooNE...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
