From Live Science, Feb. 21, 2019: This primer on neutrinos calls out the search for sterile neutrinos and a recent result from the MiniBooNE neutrino experiment.
MiniBooNE
From Live Science, Dec. 25, 2018: Results from Fermilab’s MiniBooNE neutrino experiment makes Live Science’s top science stories of 2018, at number 4.
From Live Science, Jan. 1, 2019: One of the four is MiniBooNE’s search for a fourth neutrino, which could be a dark matter candidate.
From Forbes, Dec. 5, 2018: If there’s a fourth neutrino out there, Fermilab’s Short-Baseline Neutrino Program experiments will lead the way.
From Cosmos, Nov. 28, 2018: MiniBooNE researchers have published a paper in the journal Physical Review Letters, reporting a possible trace of a fourth neutrino, an addition to the three of the Standard Model.
We already know neutrinos break the mold of the Standard Model. The question is: By how much?
From the Las Cruces Sun News, July 21, 2018: NMSU’s Department of Physics contributes to the Fermilab MiniBooNE neutrino experiment.
From Scientific American, July 5, 2018: This editorial weighs in on the latest result from the MiniBooNE experiment. The author says that, while winning experiments may soon give us clarity, at this time there is no resolution to the sterile neutrino question.
From CNN, June 19, 2018: Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln explains how studying neutrinos became an intellectual industry. There were dozens of independent experiments telling a consistent story, each reporting similar values for the parameters being studied. Well, except for one.
From Nachrichten Welt, June 18, 2018: German publication picks up Don Lincoln’s Live Science article on MiniBooNE and its search for the sterile neutrino.
