"Precision in these measurements is critical, as even subtle discrepancies could signal deviations from the model — ...

A decade-long investigation into puzzling neutrino behavior has now ruled out one of the most widely discussed explanations: the sterile neutrino.

Scientists hunted dark matter and solar neutrinos with one of the largest experiments yet. While the neutrinos likely ...

Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the ...

A joint effort between two of the world’s largest neutrino experiments has brought scientists closer to understanding how the ...

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab found no evidence of a hypothetical fourth flavor of neutrino ...

For three decades, a riddle has followed neutrinos, the near-weightless particles that stream through Earth by the trillions ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward solving a long-standing mystery in particle physics, by finding no sign of the ...

The KATRIN (Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino) experiment has provided fresh insights into sterile neutrinos. Neutrinos ...

Columbia professors contributed to new research that seeks to understand an anomaly that has puzzled particle physics for ...

Baryons, composite particles made up of three quarks bound together via the so-called strong force, make up the most visible matter and have thus been the focus of numerous physics studies. Studying ...

Diana Parno’s head swam when she first stepped inside the enormous, metallic vessel of the experiment KATRIN. Within the house-sized, oblong structure, everything was symmetrical, clean and blindingly ...
