accelerator neutrinos

Accelerator neutrinos are neutrinos produced using particle accelerators—large machines that speed up particles to high energies. In these machines, protons are accelerated and collided with a target, creating many particles including pions and kaons. These particles decay into neutrinos, which then travel from the accelerator toward detectors. Scientists use accelerator neutrinos to study their properties, such as how they change types (oscillate) and how they interact with matter. This controlled production allows for precise experiments that help us understand fundamental physics and the universe.
