Electron antineutrinos are emitted during nuclear beta decay, a type of radioactive decay in which a neutron decays into a ...

This rare event offers a unique opportunity to explore the universe, including probing the fundamental properties of the cosmos.

The neutrino observatory KM3Net is located in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea and measures a cosmic neutrino at the ...

Using an observatory located deep beneath the Mediterranean Sea, an international team has detected an ultra-high-energy ...

Undersea detectors anchored deep in the Mediterranean Sea found an ultra-high-energy neutrino, a particle that opens a new ...

Physicists have detected the highest-energy 'ghost particle' ever felt on Earth, with nearly 100 times more energy than any ...

A “ghost particle” discovered by a detector in the Mediterranean carried 30 times more energy than any neutrino observed to ...

Cherenkov radiation is a phenomenon that occurs when charged particles, such as electrons, travel through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the speed of light in that medium. This effect ...

For water at room temperature, this angle is 41º. In a water Cherenkov detector, the Cherenkov radiation is detected, usually by photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and the cone of emission reconstructed.

Using an observatory under construction deep beneath the Mediterranean Sea near Sicily, scientists have detected a ghostly ...

releasing faster-than-light particles and so causing a faint blue flash — the eerie Cherenkov radiation seen in nuclear reactor pools. However, detecting the flash and converting it into a ...

While this sounds like it might make things more complicated for you, hoping to detect a muon, it actually makes the operation much simpler, thanks to Cherenkov radiation. The speed of light in a ...
