Brookhaven and the Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment
DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
The Daya Bay Collaboration, an international group of scientists studying the subtle transformations of subatomic particles called neutrinos, is publishing its first results on the search for a so-called sterile neutrino, a particle that could have a profound impact on our understanding of the universe. US Daya Bay Chief Scientist Steve Kettell of Brookhaven National Laboratory offers commentary on the implications of this research.

Hide and seek: Sterile neutrinos remain elusive
DOE/Brookhaven National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
The Daya Bay Collaboration, an international group of scientists studying the subtle transformations of subatomic particles called neutrinos, is publishing its first results on the search for a so-called sterile neutrino, a possible new type of neutrino beyond the three known neutrino 'flavors,' or types. The existence of this elusive particle, if proven, would have a profound impact on our understanding of the universe, and could impact the design of future neutrino experiments.
