In a cosmic first, scientists detect ‘ghost particles’ from a distant galaxy

    From The Washington Post, July 12, 2018: At the IceCube experiment at Earth’s South Pole, 5,160 sensors buried more than a mile beneath the ice detected a single ghostly neutrino as it interacted with an atom. Scientists then traced the particle back to the galaxy that created it.
    The cosmic achievement is the first time scientists have detected a high-energy neutrino and been able to pinpoint where it came from.

      The tao of tau

        From Scientific American, June 27, 2018: There are plenty of arguments for why the lesser known Greek letter should be as popular as its more famous cousin, pi. Tau is the name given to one of the charged leptons and its partner neutrino, discovered in 2000 at Fermilab.

        Why is the universe full of matter? UT Arlington physicist helps global team get closer to an answer

          From Dallas Morning News, June 28, 2018: Members of the world’s particle physics community are launching the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment to understand the early universe. For Fermilab user Jaehoon Yu, DUNE also opens possibilities beyond curiosity-driven research.
