Neutrinos seen scattering off an atom’s nucleus for the first time
Ability to detect the tiny particles performing new trick allows for new tests of physicists’ theories
NEUTRINO NABBER A compact neutrino detector (prototype pictured with physicist Juan Collar of the COHERENT collaboration) has measured a new type of neutrino interaction. The 15-kilogram detector is much smaller than those used in previous experiments.
