Scientists, engineers and technicians on the NOvA collaboration posed on Monday, Sept. 10, in front of the newly installed first block of what will be the largest neutrino detector in the world.
The 14-kiloton detector will allow physicists to study a beam of neutrinos from 500 miles away at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. But what are they looking for? Physicists explain in a new Fermilab video.
NOvA: Exploring neutrino mysteries
Neutrinos are a mystery to physicists. They exist in three different flavors and mass states and may be able to give hints about the origins of the matter-dominated universe. A new long-baseline experiment led by Fermilab called NOvA may provide some answers.
