New measurements from Fermilab’s MINOS experiment suggest a difference in a key property of neutrinos and antineutrinos
Scientists of the MINOS experiment at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator laboratory today (June 14) announced the world’s most precise measurement to date of the parameters that govern antineutrino oscillations, the back-and-forth transformations of antineutrinos from one type to another.
