Physicists Unlock New Path to Weighing the Universe’s “Ghost Particle”
Silver-110’s decay reveals a promising path to measure antineutrino mass. New data could reshape future neutrino studies. Neutrinos and antineutrinos are fundamental particles that possess mass, although their exact value remains unknown. Recent high-precision atomic mass measurements carried out at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä in Finland suggest that the beta decay […]
Summary
Recent high-precision measurements of Silver-110’s atomic mass in Finland indicate its beta decay could be a promising method for determining antineutrino mass. While neutrinos and antineutrinos are known to have mass, its precise value is elusive. Silver-110’s decay characteristics offer a potential avenue to obtain this elusive measurement. This new data and its potential implications could significantly impact the direction of future neutrino research, potentially providing crucial insights into the fundamental properties of these elusive particles.
