• Resumen

  • Neutrino hunters are gearing up for open season. When it is complete, this 10-metre-tall golden room will be a neutrino detector, filled with about 800 tonnes of liquid argon. Its shining walls can expand and contract like an accordion based on the temperature of the argon, which will be keptat-184°Celsius while the detector is running. This experiment, called protoDUNE, is a 1/20th scale model of the planned DUNE neutrino detector, which will study how these elusive particles oscillate between different types, or flavours, and investigate their masses. It will also search for new types of neutrinos beyond the three that we know of now
