This is the first time anyone has seen electron neutrinos show up in a beam of particles that started off as muon neutrinos.

Not exact matches

First generation leptons include the familiar electron and neutrino (see...

The sun's core should produce electron neutrinos in a range of energies, but detectors see fewer high - energy ones than predicted.

Neutrino «disappearance» experiments have already seen indirect signs of this muon - electron shift.

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.

The latest evidence for sterile neutrinos emerged in 2011, when a team of theorists argued that various experiments that detect electron antineutrinos from nearby nuclear reactors saw fewer antineutrinos than they should.

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.»

In order to see if oscillation has occurred during the neutrinos» 500 - mile journey, the detector at Minnesota measures the relative fraction of mu and electron neutrinos.

«Similarly, if oscillations did not occur, scientists expected to see only one electron neutrino appearance (due to background interactions).

Moreover, the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory was able to detect all three types of neutrinos directly, and found that the Sun's total neutrino emission rate agreed with the Standard Solar Model, although only one - third of the neutrinos seen at Earth were of the electrNeutrino Observatory was able to detect all three types of neutrinos directly, and found that the Sun's total neutrino emission rate agreed with the Standard Solar Model, although only one - third of the neutrinos seen at Earth were of the electrneutrino emission rate agreed with the Standard Solar Model, although only one - third of the neutrinos seen at Earth were of the electron type.
