IMB, the Irvine-Michigan-Brookhaven detector, was a nucleon decay experiment and neutrino observatory located in a Morton Salt company's Fairport mine on the shore of Lake Erie in the United States 600 meters underground. It was a joint venture of the University of California, Irvine, the University of Michigan, and the Brookhaven National ...
The Homestake experiment (sometimes referred to as the Davis experiment or Solar Neutrino Experiment and in original literature called Brookhaven Solar Neutrino Experiment or Brookhaven 37 Cl (Chlorine) Experiment) [1] was an experiment headed by astrophysicists Raymond Davis, Jr. and John N. Bahcall in the late 1960s.
Raymond Davis Jr. (October 14, 1914 – May 31, 2006) was an American chemist and physicist.He is best known as the leader of the Homestake experiment in the 1960s-1980s, which was the first experiment to detect neutrinos emitted from the Sun; for this he shared the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Mary R. M. Bishai (born 1970) is an American physicist who is a Distinguished Scientist at Brookhaven National Laboratory.In 2023, she was elected spokesperson of Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, and was made responsible for the 1,400 person collaboration.
Neutrino experiments are scientific studies investigating the properties of neutrinos, which are subatomic particles that are very difficult to detect due to their weak interactions with matter. Neutrino experiments are essential for understanding the fundamental properties of matter and the universe's behaviour at the subatomic level.
Frederick Reines (/ ˈ r aɪ n ə s / RY-nəs; [1] March 16, 1918 – August 26, 1998) was an American physicist.He was awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics for his co-detection of the neutrino with Clyde Cowan in the neutrino experiment.
This guy gave new meaning to the slogan “Gottahava Wawa.” Police in East Windsor, N.J., arrested a 24-year-old man on Dec. 23, and charged him with misusing the town’s 911 system for ...
Within the Homestake Gold Mine in Lead, South Dakota, Davis placed a 380 cubic meter (100,000 gallon) tank of perchloroethylene 1,478 meters (4,850 feet) underground as a neutrino target. [22] The experiment would measure neutrino interactions with chlorine, since perchloroethylene is a common dry-cleaning fluid rich in that element. A target ...
