short baseline neutrinos

Short baseline neutrinos refer to a type of neutrino experiment designed to study neutrino oscillations—how neutrinos change from one type to another—over short distances. These experiments, often conducted in a laboratory setting, tackle questions about the properties of neutrinos, including their mass and how they interact with other particles. They typically involve detectors placed a few hundred meters away from a neutrino source. Understanding short baseline neutrinos helps scientists probe fundamental questions about the universe, potentially revealing new physics beyond the Standard Model.
