Accelerator neutrino experiments
Accelerator neutrino experiments use particle accelerators to generate intense beams of neutrinos and direct them toward detectors. These experiments help scientists study neutrinos' properties, such as their tiny masses, how they switch between types (flavors), and their role in the universe. By controlling the neutrino beams and observing how they change over distance, researchers gain insights into fundamental physics, including why matter exists and how the universe evolved. These experiments are key to unlocking mysteries about these elusive particles that rarely interact with matter.
