Borexino finds evidence of neutrinos produced in the Earth’s mantle
In July, the Borexino collaboration reported a geoneutrino signal from the Earth’s mantle with 98% C.L. Geoneutrinos are electron antineutrinos produced by β decays of 238U and 232Th c...

What’s next for OPERA’s emulsion-detection technology?
Developed in the late 1990s, the OPERA detector design was based on a hybrid technology, using both real-time detectors and nuclear emulsions. The construction of the detector at the Gran Sasso...
