LSND strengthens evidence for neutrino oscillations
DOE/Los Alamos National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
A collaboration of university scientists and researchers working at Los Alamos National Laboratory has published the final paper from the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) experiment. The results, based on six years of data collection, strengthen previously published, but controversial LSND results and provide further evidence of neutrino oscillation and mass.

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy measures carbon in soils in a flash
DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
With increasing international concern about greenhouse gases and global warming, scientists have sought better and more cost-effective approaches for measuring changes in the amount of land-based carbon, much of which is located in soils. But because the amount of carbon varies considerably from one spot to the next, measuring significant changes in land-based carbon in fields, ranch lands and forests is difficult.
