- Hitoshi Murayama's Neutrino Page - Combined oscillation parameter plots, implications of neutrino mass.
- Palo Verde - The Palo Verde experiment, searching for neutrino oscillations via the disappearance of electron anti-neutrinos produced by the reactors of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. Ran 1998-1999.
- The Mainz Neutrino Mass Experiment - A tritium beta decay experiment at the University of Mainz (Germany) to constrain electron neutrino mass.
- History of the Neutrino - Includes explanation of neutrino physics and research.
- Booster Neutrino Experiment (BooNE) - The goal of this experiment is to test for neutrino mass by searching for neutrino oscillations. Neutrino mass is important because it may lead to physics beyond the Standard Model. Masses in the range accessible to MiniBooNE will expand understanding of how the universe has evolved.
- Neutrino Experiment at JHF - Next-generation long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in Japan using the 50 GeV proton synchtrotron and the Super-Kamiokande detector. Expected to come online in 2007.
- RAND - Radio Neutrino Detector Array, located 1.5 km from the South Pole. Its aim is to detect ultra-high energy (>1 TeV) neutrinos interacting in the Antarctica ice cap.
- BNL Neutrino Working Group - Information relating to the possibility of using Brookhaven's AGS as a source of a ~1MW, ~1GeV neutrino beam for a future neutrino long base line experiment.
Wikipedia Articles
- Sterile neutrino - A sterile neutrino is a hypothetical neutrino that does not interact via any of the fundamental interactions of the Standard Model. It is a right-handed neutrino or a left-handed anti-neutrino.
- Neutrino oscillation - Neutrino oscillation is a quantum mechanical phenomenon predicted by Bruno Pontecorvo whereby a neutrino created with a specific lepton flavor (electron, muon or tau) can later be measured to have a different flavor. The probability of measuring a particular flavor for a neutrino varies periodically as it propagates.
- LSND - The Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) was a scintillation counter at Los Alamos National Laboratory that measured the number of neutrinos being produced by an accelerator neutrino source. The LSND project was created to look for evidence of neutrino oscillation, and its results conflict with the standard model expectation of only three neutrino flavors, when considered in the context of other solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation experiments.
- Solar neutrino problem - The solar neutrino problem was a major discrepancy between measurements of the numbers of neutrinos flowing through the earth and theoretical models of the solar interior, lasting from the mid-1960s to about 2002. The discrepancy has since been resolved by new understanding of neutrino physics, requiring a modification of the Standard Model of particle physics - specifically, neutrino oscillation.
- IceCube Neutrino Detector - The IceCube Neutrino Detector is a neutrino telescope currently under construction at the South Pole. Like its predecessor, the Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA), IceCube is being constructed in deep Antarctic ice by deploying thousands of spherical optical sensors (photomultiplier tubes, or PMTs) at depths between 1,450 and 2,450 meters.
