Seeing the cosmos with neutrinos For the first time, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a gigaton detector located under the Antarctic ice, has produced an image of the Milky Way …
媒体英语 Milky Way: Icy observatory reveals 'ghost particles' 南极 “冰立方” 探测到银河系中存在中微子 Play audio file 一台埋在南极冰层中的探测器为人们了解银河系提供了一个前所未有的视角。研究人员们用收集到的数据制作了一张模糊而美丽的银河系图像，但这张图像其实是由 “幽灵粒子” 中微子组成的。 Neutrinos, or 'ghost particles' as they're known, are made when cosmic rays that are rattling around space at near light speed, smash into other matter. 这个被称作 “冰立方” 的探测器是由埋在南极下的长电缆上的数千个传感器组成的。每当中微子与数十亿个冰分子中的一个相互作用时，探测器就会捕捉到这种相互作用，并找出中微子的来源。 The detectors produced the first evidence of these 'ghost particles' in our home galaxy, which …
Human beings for millennia have gazed with awe at the vast torrent of stars - bright and dim - shining in Earth's night sky that comprise the Milky Way. Scientists said on Thursday they have produced an image of the Milky Way not based on electromagnetic radiation - light - but on ghostly subatomic particles called neutrinos. They detected high-energy …
Among the many cosmic rays of the universe that pass through the Earth unseen, scientists have spotted astrophysical neutrinos that emanate from a nearby galaxy. Observed by an international team of scientists for the first time, the neutrinos were detected by the one billion ton IceCube Neutrino Observatory, that is situated 1.5-2.5 kilometres below the surface at the South Pole. …
