In July 1956, in a brief paper published in Science, a small team based at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the US presented results from an experiment at a new, powerful fission reactor at the S...
Read article 'Neutrinos take centre stage'
When CERN was founded in 1954, the neutrino was technically still a figment of theorists’ imaginations. Six decades later, neutrinos have become the most studied of all elementary particles. Several...
Read article 'DUMAND and the origins of large neutrino detectors'
 In 1976, neutrinos did not yet have the prominent role in particle physics that they play today. Postulated by Pauli in 1930, they had been said to be undetectable due to their tiny interaction...
