About 60 physicists met at Fermilab this past weekend to discuss an idea that might define the future of neutrino research. The scientists are interested in creating clean, precise beams of neutrinos by sending muons—the more massive cousins of electrons—to the racetrack.
Neutrinos are surprising little particles. They have mass, despite predictions to the contrary. They come in at least three types, called flavors, and they shift from flavor to flavor as they move.

Klystrons are what make linear accelerators—as well as radar, cancer treatments and some radio telescopes—work. Invented at Stanford University about 75 years ago, klystrons convert electricity into radio and microwave energy, a far more powerful version of what’s generated by your kitchen microwave oven.

Scientists, engineers and technicians on the NOvA collaboration posed on Monday, Sept. 10, in front of the newly installed first block of what will be the largest neutrino detector in the world.
The 14-kiloton detector will allow physicists to study a beam of neutrinos from 500 miles away at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. But what are they looking for? Physicists explain in a new Fermilab video.

(Phys.org) -- Typically, for two particles to become entangled, they must first physically interact. Then when the particles are physically separated and still share the same quantum state, they are considered to be entangled. But in a new study, physicists have investigated a new twist on entanglement in which two qubits become entangled with each other even though they never physically interact.
