The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) in the US, the cavern for which entered construction this summer, will make precision studies of neutrinos produced 1300 km away at Fermilab as part o...
Read article 'Miniature detector first to spot coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering'
The COHERENT collaboration at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in the US has detected coherent elastic scattering of neutrinos off nuclei for the first time. The ability to harness this process, p...
