This is an event view of the highest energy neutrino detected so far by the IceCube experiment based at the South Pole (CERN Courier December 2014 p30). Each sphere is one optical sensor; the coloured...
Read article 'Fermilab sets neutrino-beam record'
In June, Fermilab’s Main Injector accelerator sustained a 521 kW proton beam, and set a world record for the production of high-energy neutrinos with a proton accelerator. The 120 GeV ...
