Experimental Neutrino Physics

Understand

It's been a remarkable decade in neutrino physics.

• Ten years ago this summer, at the 1998 neutrino conference in Takayama, the Super-Kamiokande collaboration reported the observation of neutrinos changing flavor, thereby establishing the existence of neutrino mass.
• A few years later, the SNO experiment solved the long-standing solar neutrino problem demonstrating that it too was due to neutrino oscillation.
• Just a few years after that, these effects were confirmed and the oscillation parameters were measured with man-made neutrino sources.
