The fourth flavor? Scientists close in on a new kind of neutrino
From Live Science, June 18, 2018: Fermilab’s Don Lincoln gives the lowdown on how scientists discovered neutrino oscillation, leading into MiniBooNE’s latest measurement related to the sterile neutrino.
Fourth neutrino or systematic error?
From Physics Today, June 14, 2018: New results from MiniBooNE confirm tantalizing evidence from 20 years ago of an additional neutrino species, but they also fly in the face of findings from other recent experiments.
A major physics experiment just detected a particle that shouldn’t exist
From NBC News, June 10, 2018: Fermilab scientists have produced the firmest evidence yet of sterile neutrinos, decades after the first evidence of them turned up.
Weird neutrino excess won’t go away, hints at new physics
From Ars Technica, June 8, 2018: Fermilab’s latest update on the sterile neutrino uses two additional years of MiniBooNE data. The measurements have edged even closer to the statistical standards for discovery.
Scientists discover traces of antineutrino oscillation through NOvA experiment
From The News Recorder, June 6, 2018: Scientists on Fermilab’s NOvA experiment — the world’s largest-baseline neutrino experiment — have detected strong evidence of muon antineutrinos oscillating into electron antineutrinos. Such phenomenon has never been observed before.
Evidence builds for a new kind of neutrino
From Scientific American, June 7, 2018: Physicists have caught ghostly particles called neutrinos misbehaving at Fermilab’s MiniBooNE experiment, suggesting an extra species of neutrino exists.
Muon antineutrino oscillation spotted by NOvA
From Physics World, June 7, 2018: The best evidence yet that muon antineutrinos can change into electron antineutrinos has been found by the NOvA experiment.
Waiting for a sign
Some scientists spend decades trying to catch a glimpse of a rare process. But with good experimental design and a lot of luck, they often need only a handful of signals to make a discovery.
Machine built in Chicago to probe mysterious new particles
From WTTW’s Chicago Tonight, June 5, 2018: A team of physicists announced findings that could reveal the existence of a mysterious new type of particle known as a sterile neutrino. The finding by Fermilab’s MiniBooNE happens to come with several Chicago connections.
