90 Years of Neutrino Science

Collage - A collection of images from past, present, and pending neutrino science experiments, including: Daya Bay, DUNE at LBNF, the Homestake experiment, IceCube, KamLAND, ProtoDUNE and SNO. Displayed in the background is the text of a letter that physicist Wolfgang Pauli had written on Dec. 4, 1930, postulating the existence of the neutrino.

GRETA, a 3D Gamma-Ray Detector, Gets Green Light to Move Forward

Image - This set of renderings shows the completed GRETA array (left, top and bottom). The detector is designed to open up, with each half retracting on a track. Samples can be placed at the center of the spherical array. The completed array will contain 120 high-purity germanium crystals. (Credit: GRETA collaboration)

Charm Quarks Offer Clues to Confinement

Image - This image represents a collision of gold nuclei, recorded by STAR, the Solenoidal Tracker at Brookhaven Lab’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, with the Berkeley Lab-built Heavy Flavor Tracker detector. The white points show the measured hits that were used to reconstruct charged particle tracks (red and green lines). (Credit: Xin Dong, Berkeley Lab)
