Neutrinoexperimente
NeutrinoExperimente is a neutral term used to describe experimental programs devoted to studying neutrinos, the nearly massless, electrically neutral leptons that interact primarily via the weak nuclear force. The field encompasses research on neutrino production, propagation, interactions, and their implications for particle physics and cosmology. Objectives include determining neutrino masses and mixing, testing the Standard Model, and exploring phenomena such as sterile neutrinos and charge-parity (CP) violation in the lepton sector.
Experiments use diverse detection methods and sources. Detectors often rely on large volumes of water, liquid
Historically, neutrino experiments led to the discovery of neutrino flavor oscillations, establishing that neutrinos have mass.
Looking ahead, NeutrinoExperimente continues with major facilities such as Hyper-Kamiokande, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE),
