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

But the new study measures «coherent» scattering, in which a
low -
energy neutrino interacts with an entire atomic nucleus
at once, ricocheting away and causing the nucleus to recoil slightly in response.
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.
In this picture, the oscillations involve the three types of
neutrino,
at relatively
low energies.
