A neutrino beam is one way that physicists study neutrinos. Scientists use particle accelerators to create energetic particles that smack into a target, producing other particles that decay into neutrinos. This creates a concentrated group of neutrinos with a specific flavor and amount of energy. Having lots of information about the kind of neutrinos created makes it easier for researchers to conduct experiments and study the tricky particles.
All Things Neutrino was developed by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, America’s premier laboratory for particle physics and accelerator research. Fermilab is the host lab for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, DUNE. We hope this site will serve as a resource for all those intrigued by the mysterious neutrinos that are traveling above, below, and through us.
