Daya Bay neutrino experiment releases high-precision
measurement of subatomic shape shifting and new result on differences among
neutrino masses
The international Daya Bay Collaboration has announced new
results about the transformations of neutrinos - elusive, ghostlike particles
that carry invaluable clues about the makeup of the early universe. The latest findings include the
collaboration's first data on how neutrino oscillation – in which neutrinos mix
and change into other "flavors," or types, as they travel – varies
with neutrino energy, allowing the measurement of a key difference in neutrino
masses known as "mass splitting."
