CERN’s breakthrough experiment captures high-energy neutrinos for first time | The team analyzed a subset of the exposed detector volume, equivalent to 128.6 kg, focusing on high-energy neutrinos produced by LHC’s proton-proton collisions.

Physicists at CERN's LHC have directly observed high-energy electron and muon neutrino interactions in the teraelectronvolt energy range.

The team analyzed a subset of the exposed detector volume, equivalent to 128.6 kg, focusing on high-energy neutrinos produced by LHC’s proton-proton collisions. “These results demonstrate the capability of studying flavor-tagged neutrino interactions at TeV energies with the FASERν emulsion-based detector at the LHC,” Dr. Ariga highlighted. The ability to study neutrinos at these extreme energies could shed light on fundamental questions in physics, such as why particles have mass and why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe.
