Sentences with phrase «electron neutrino events»

Not exact matches

The group did spot an odd uptick in the number of electron neutrinos at lower energies — 369 events instead of 273.

Using more limited data, Hill sees background signals and possible electron antineutrino events in roughly equal number, and concludes that there is no evidence for a neutrino mass.

This is the detected pattern of an electron neutrino candidate event observed by Super-Kamiokande.

Scientists could then pinpoint the trajectory of the particle, allowing them to better distinguish between electron neutrino interactions and other events and thus determine whether there really is an excess of oscillations at low energies.

The aim is to use the detector to try to observe a theoretical atomic event called neutrinoless double - beta decay — a radioactive process whereby an atomic nucleus releases two electrons and no neutrinos.

However, the result is still tentative because of the small number of events seen and because of the possibility — considered rare — that muon neutrinos could be misidentified as electron neutrinos.

But the collaboration saw six such events, evidence that some of the missing muon neutrinos had turned into electron neutrinos.»
