KamLAND experiment

The KamLAND experiment is a scientific effort to study tiny particles called neutrinos, which come from nuclear reactors. By placing a sensitive detector deep underground, scientists can observe these neutrinos to understand how they change or "oscillate" as they travel. This helps us learn about fundamental properties of neutrinos and confirms aspects of our understanding of particle physics. Additionally, studying neutrinos from reactors provides insights into neutrino behavior, supports research on the Earth's interior, and contributes to our knowledge of the universe’s fundamental particles.
