NCBJ leads study of neutrino scattering at the Large Hadron Collider

Scientists at the National Centre for Nuclear Research are leading a study using the Large Hadron Collider to investigate neutrino interactions, a pursuit that could break an impasse in research. The research focuses on “trident” neutrino scattering, a rare event where neutrinos produce two charged leptons simultaneously, and aims to better understand calculations that require approximations with significant uncertainties. Understanding these interactions will not only improve models of cosmic ray collisions but…
