LSND (Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector)

The Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) is a scientific experiment designed to study neutrinos, extremely light particles that interact only weakly with matter. Located at Los Alamos National Laboratory, it uses a tank filled with liquid scintillator, which emits light when neutrinos pass through it. By detecting this light, scientists can learn about the properties of neutrinos, such as their masses and how they might change from one type to another. LSND contributed to important findings in particle physics, particularly regarding neutrino oscillations, which could have implications for understanding the universe.
