Announcing the First Results from Daya Bay Discovery of a New Kind of Neutrino Transformation- Discovery of a New Kind of Neutrino Transformation

摘要

On March 8, 2012, the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment, a multinational collaboration operating in the south of China, reported the first results of its search for lhe last, most elusive piece of a long-standing puzzle： how is it that neutrinos can appear to vanish as they travel？ The surprising answer opens a gateway to a new understanding of fundamental physics and may eventually solve the riddle of why there is far more ordinary matter than antimatter in the universe today.
