NOMAD (Neutrino Oscillation Magnetized Spectrometer)

NOMAD (Neutrino Oscillation Magnetized Spectrometer) was an experiment designed to study neutrinos, tiny particles that seldom interact with matter. It used a powerful magnetized detector to analyze neutrinos produced by a beam and observe how they change types—a phenomenon called oscillation. By tracking these changes, NOMAD aimed to understand neutrino properties, such as their masses and mixing behavior, which are fundamental to particle physics. Its precise measurements contributed to unraveling the nature of these elusive particles, helping scientists comprehend the universe's fundamental building blocks.
