Tau neutrino - Wikipedia
The tau neutrino or tauon neutrino is an elementary particle which has the symbol ν τ and zero electric charge. Together with the tau (τ), it forms the third generation of leptons, hence the name tau neutrino.
IceCube observes seven astrophysical tau neutrino candidates
2024年3月7日 · Tau-neutrino-induced light signals detected by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. The zoomed in region shows the initial signal of a tau neutrino. A tau neutrino deposits most of its energy at two separate interaction points, as indicated by the two small spheres.
Physics - Seven Astrophysical Tau Neutrinos Unmasked
2024年4月11日 · A tau neutrino produces a tau lepton—a heavy cousin of the electron—that emits a photon ball both when it is produced and when it decays. But the distance between these two cascades is often so short—a few millimeters or centimeters—that the two patterns overlap and appear as one.
Hunting for the elusive: IceCube observes seven potential tau …
2024年4月23日 · Researchers at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica have found seven signals that could potentially indicate tau neutrinos—which are famously hard to detect—from astrophysical objects.
IceCube reports first detection of candidate astrophysical tau ...
2023年1月12日 · The IceCube Collaboration has reported two candidate events for the final unobserved Standard Model cosmic messenger: astrophysical tau neutrinos. And one of these neutrino events, as with previous prominent particles detected by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, has been given its own nickname.
IceCube Observes Seven Astrophysical Tau Neutrino Candidates
2024年4月17日 · Now, in a new study recently accepted as an “Editors’ Suggestion” by Physical Review Letters, the IceCube Collaboration presents the discovery of the once-elusive astrophysical tau neutrinos, a new kind of astrophysical messenger.
IceCube identifies seven astrophysical tau neutrino candidates
2024年3月12日 · The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has identified seven of the once-elusive astrophysical tau neutrinos. The collaboration, which includes Penn State researchers, described their findings in a new study that will be published in Physical Review Letters.
IceCube identifies seven astrophysical tau neutrino candidates
2024年3月12日 · The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has detected seven astrophysical tau neutrinos. The once-elusive particles are weakly interacting, can travel astronomical distances unscathed, and can be traced back to their sources, potentially revealing the …
Detectors deep in South Pole ice pin down elusive tau neutrino
2024年4月19日 · When a tau neutrino hits the ice, it produces a particle called a tau lepton, which travels only a short way before decaying. The resulting signal is similar to that produced by an...
