China is building a new neutrino detector called TRIDENT in the South China Sea. The detector will be located near the equator.
TRIDENT will be a next-generation neutrino telescope with improved sensitivity. It will help scientists understand the origins of cosmic rays.
The detector will cover a volume of 30 cubic kilometers (7 cubic miles). It will be located 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) below the surface of the ocean, with strands of the detectors extending for about 3.1 kilometers (1.93 miles
They’re building it in the South China Sea, near the equator. This next-generation neutrino telescope will feature improved sensitivity and should help clear up the mystery around cosmic rays and their origins
Where is the largest neutrino detector
IceCube is a state-of-the-art neutrino telescope at the geographical South Pole, buried deep under the surface of the Antarctic ice cap. With more than five thousand optical sensors distributed over a cubic kilometer of ice, IceCube is the biggest particle detector world-wide.
Instead, the paper’s authors worked with an array of holes drilled more than a mile into the South Pole ice: the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Down those shafts, deep in the frozen darkness, IceCube’s detectors watch for light trails from the particles that neutrinos spawn when they collide with matter.
What was the world first neutrino detector
chlorine detector in the former Homestake Mine near Lead, South Dakota, containing 520 short tons (470 metric tons) of fluid, was the first to detect the solar neutrinos, and made the first measurement of the deficit of electron neutrinos from the sun (see Solar neutrino problem).
In which state of india is neutrino detector located
India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) is a particle physics research project under construction to primarily study atmospheric neutrinos in a 1,200 meters (3,900 ft) deep cave under INO Peak near Theni, Tamil Nadu, India.
Funded by : Dept. of Atomic Energy (DAE) and the Dept. of Science and Technology (DST). Objectives: INO will observe neutrinos and antineutrinos produced in the atmosphere of the Earth.
Who discovered neutrino
Frederick Reines
1995. Frederick Reines was awarded a share of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the electron neutrino. The other portion went to Martin Perl for the discovery of the tau lepton. Clyde Cowan died in 1974 and was ineligible to receive the Nobel Prize, which is not awarded posthumously.
Why it is called neutrino
The neutrino is so named because it is electrically neutral and because its rest mass is so small (-ino) that it was long thought to be zero. The rest mass of the neutrino is much smaller than that of the other known elementary particles (excluding massless particles)
There are three types of neutrino, each associated with a charged lepton—i.e., the electron, the muon, and the tau—and therefore given the corresponding names electron-neutrino, muon-neutrino, and tau-neutrino.
Who won the Nobel prize for neutrino energy
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2015 recognises Takaaki Kajita in Japan and Arthur B.McDonald in Canada, for their key contributions to the experiments which demonstrated that neutrinos change identities
Why do neutrino detector use water
Using water as the detection medium is a way to provide a very large target mass at reasonable cost—all the world’s largest neutrino detectors are water Cherenkov experiments
Is neutrino faster than light
Fermilab scientists closely analyzed and placed bounds on the errors in their timing system. On June 8, 2012 MINOS announced that according to preliminary results, the neutrino speed is consistent with the speed of light
What is a neutrino used for
Neutrinos play a role in many fundamental aspects of our lives; they are produced in nuclear fusion processes that power the sun and stars, they are produced in radioactive decays that provide a source of heat inside our planet, and they are produced in nuclear reactors
