Physicists met in Uppsala to consider how the next generation of high-energy neutrino detectors can contribute to new physics as well as to study cosmic phenomena.
Read article 'Right on target: CNGS gets off to an excellent start'
Six years after its construction began, the CNGS facility at CERN has sent its first batch of neutrinos 732 km to Gran Sasso in Italy in a highly successful commissioning run.
Read article 'OPERA makes its debut under the Gran Sasso'
After three years of construction, the OPERA experiment has detected the first neutrinos from CNGS, and an automated production and assembly line is in full swing to complete the detector so that its ...

After many years of tests, the ANTARES neutrino detector deployed in the Mediterranean Sea is using its first full detector line to register the tracks of cosmic-ray muons.
Read article 'Muon neutrinos vanish on way to Minnesota'
This is the conclusion from the first results of the Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS), presented at a seminar at Fermilab on 30 March, which showed that MINOS has observed the disappe...
Read article 'Neutrinos provide new route to heavy elements in supernovae'
During their long lifetimes stars generate their energies by nuclear fusion in their interiors, which are generally accepted to be the breeding grounds for carbon and heavier elements.
Read article 'Sterile neutrinos unravel astrophysics'
Almost every current theoretical model of neutrino masses introduces sterile ("right-handed") fields, which mix with the ordinary ("left-handed") neutrinos.
