SUNRISE (Spherical Ultralight Neutrino Interaction Experiment)

SUNRISE (Spherical Ultralight Neutrino Interaction Experiment) is a scientific project designed to detect and study neutrinos—tiny, almost massless particles that pass through matter almost undetected. The experiment uses a spherical detector filled with specialized materials to capture rare interactions when neutrinos collide with atoms. By observing these events, researchers aim to better understand neutrino properties and their role in the universe. This helps deepen knowledge in fundamental physics, including how the universe evolved and the nature of missing mass and energy.
