Giant ice cube hints at the existence of cosmic antineutrinos – Nature.com
Possible evidence of a rare antineutrino–matter interaction.
Neutrinos are the most elusive of the fundamental particles, and come in three types: the electron neutrino, the muon neutrino and the tau neutrino. Almost massless and lacking electric charge, they interact with matter only through a fundamental force known as the weak interaction, which is mediated by force-carrying particles called W and Z bosons. In 1959, the theoretical physicist Sheldon Glashow used the standard model of particle physics to predict1 that negatively charged W bosons (W bosons)…
