How To Detect a Neutrino
Summary
PBS Space Time visits Fermilab to explore neutrino physics with researcher Dr. Don Lincoln. The episode explains how neutrinos are generated and detected using the ICARUS detector, highlighting their weak interaction with matter. It then introduces the upcoming DUNE experiment, which will send intense neutrino beams through the Earth to South Dakota. The goal is to measure differences between matter and antimatter to solve why the universe exists.
