"ATLAS Detector Measures High-Energy Supernova Neutrino Flux"

Recent studies have shown that the ATLAS detector at CERN can measure the flux of high-energy supernova neutrinos, offering a promising avenue for detecting these rare particles. Researchers demonstrated that the ATLAS detector could characterize the flavor of neutrinos and discriminate between neutrinos and antineutrinos, providing valuable insights into these elusive particles. This work highlights the potential of collider detectors like ATLAS for detecting high-energy neutrinos from galactic supernovae, potentially opening up new avenues for research in particle physics and astrophysics.

"Unprecedented Discovery: IceCube Observes Milky Way in Neutrino Particles"

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole has detected high-energy neutrinos originating from within the Milky Way galaxy, marking the first observation of such particles. Neutrinos are fundamental particles that interact minimally with matter, and their detection opens up a new avenue for studying the Milky Way in particles rather than light. By using machine-learning techniques to analyze a decade's worth of data, researchers were able to identify cascade events caused by high-energy neutrinos, which were previously obscured by background signals. The next step is to identify specific sources of neutrinos in the Milky Way using the upgraded IceCube detector.

China's Deep-Sea Hunt for Elusive Particles

China is constructing a detector with 55,000 sensors suspended 0.6 miles beneath the ocean's surface to hunt for high-energy neutrinos that may originate from black holes, supernovas, pulsars, or other events. The detector will cover about 7 cubic miles and will help scientists determine the origin of cosmic rays. The sensors will detect neutrinos and distinguish them from solar neutrinos as the sun's rays can't travel that deep. The detector will be the largest underwater neutrino detector, and its specific goal is to figure out whether gamma rays and high-energy neutrinos might come from the same intergalactic sources.
