Science - Physics - Neutrinos

I've pinched this article from Physorg.com.  It is a good interesting read about Neutrinos.   I first became interested in neutrinos when reading a book entitled NEUTRINO by Frank close. and keep a look out for such articles.   The full article can be found here , and is worth the read.   Hope you find it interesting.

Physicists propose search for fourth neutrino

In the proposed test for a fourth neutrino, a small electron antineutrino source (blue) located at the center of a large liquid scintillator detector would be used to bombard a target. The red curve represents the oscillation of the antineutrino rate as a function of the distance within the detector. If the bombardment involves sterile neutrinos, interactions of the electron antineutrinos would show a spatial modulation of a few percent over a few meters. Image credit: L. Scola (CEA)
