neutronekonomi
Neutronekonomi is an interdisciplinary field that analyzes the economic aspects of neutrino science and related technologies. It studies how neutrino research is funded, how projects are valued, and how costs and benefits are distributed among stakeholders. The field combines elements of science policy, energy economics, and innovation studies to understand the financial viability and societal impact of neutrino experiments and applications.
Scope includes budgeting for large detectors, operations, data centers, and supply chains for detectors like photomultipliers,
Methodologies central to neutronekonomi include cost-benefit analysis, lifecycle costing, option value, real options, risk assessment, and
Applications and implications extend beyond fundamental physics. Neutrino research may yield spinoffs in medical imaging, homeland
Criticism and outlook emphasize the high costs and uncertain, long-horizon returns, fueling debates about prioritization relative
