NOvA sees its first neutrino oscillations
10 Aug 2015: Scientists of the NoVA experiments saw their first evidence of oscillating neutrinos. Read the Press release of Fermilab.
Nobel prize for discovery of neutrino oscillations
6 Oct 2015: The KM3NeT Collaboration congratulates Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald who were awarded today the Nobel Prize in Physics 2015 “for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass”. Read the press release of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
New Lake Baikal telescope – First cluster of GVD neutrino telescope operational
22 Jul 2015: In the Spring of 2015, the first cluster of the Gigaton Volume Detector (GVD) – the “Dubna Cluster” – has been concluded and is operational since. Read the article in the CERN courier.
KM3NeT Strategy Document – Phased implementation of the KM3NeT Research Infrastructure
26 November 2014: The KM3NeT Collaboration has published its strategy for a phased construction of the KM3NeT Research Infrastructure at three locations in the deep seas of the Mediterranean at the southern coasts of Europe. The first phase of construction has started with furbishing the KM3NeT-Fr and KM3NeT-It locations with both deep-sea and on-shore infrastructures to host several hundredths of optical sensors of the neutrino telescope and two Read more
Evidence for high-energy extra-terrestrial neutrinos – IceCube pushes neutrinos to the forefront of astronomy
22 Nov 2013: The IceCube collaboration reported in Science Magazine the observation of 28 very high-energy particle events that constitute the first solid evidence for astrophysical neutrinos from cosmic accelerators. Read more about this exciting news at the Icecube website.
GNN – Global Neutrino Network formed
15 Oct 2013: The spokespersons of the ANTARES, Baikal, IceCube and KM3NeT Collaborations established the Global Neutrino Network (GNN) by signing a memorandum of understanding “for a closer collaboration and a more coherent strategy among the four neutrino telescope communities, resulting in significant synergistic effects and benefits for each individual project to pursue its science goals”. The GNN is the first step toward a truely Global Neutrino Observatory.
