Neutrino Astrophysics

Neutrino astrophysics is the study of neutrinos, elusive subatomic particles produced in immense quantities by cosmic events, like supernovae and black hole formations. These particles barely interact with matter, allowing them to travel great distances, even across galaxies. By detecting neutrinos, scientists gain insights into high-energy astrophysical processes and the fundamental nature of the universe. This field bridges theoretical astrophysics and particle physics, helping to answer key questions about star formation, cosmic explosions, and the behavior of matter under extreme conditions, ultimately enriching our understanding of the universe's workings.
