Exotic subatomic particles, sterile neutrinos, are no-shows in experiments, increasing doubts about their existence.
University of Cincinnati physicists, as part of an international research team, are raising doubts about the existence of an exotic subatomic particle that failed to show up in twin experiments.
UC College of Arts and Sciences associate professor Alexandre Sousa and assistant professor Adam Aurisano took part in an experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in search of sterile neutrinos, a suspected fourth "flavor" of neutrino that would join the ranks of muon, tau, and electron neutrinos as elementary particles that make up the known universe.
Finding a fourth type of neutrino would be huge, Sousa said. It would redefine our understanding of elementary particles and their interactions in what's known as the Standard Model.
Researchers in two experiments called Daya Bay and MINOS+ collaborated on complementary projects in an intense effort to find sterile neutrinos using some of the world's most advanced and precise tools.
"We apparently don't see any evidence for them," Aurisano said.
The study was published in the journal Physical Review Letters and was featured in Physics Magazine, published by the American Physical Society.
"It's an important result for particle physics," Sousa said. "It provides an almost definitive answer to a question that has been lingering for over 20 years."

An electron gun is not an elaborate piece of equipment. I empowered you to verify it for yourself. Have your physics PhD son perform it, he will tell you it is trivial to do (if he is competent at all).
Now since you are completely full of it, exhibit nothing but an obstinate oppositional-defiance reflex, have no genuine curiosity whatsoever about the subject, and have nothing positive to contribute to any part of this discussion, take a hike.
“An electron gun is not an elaborate piece of equipment. I empowered you to verify it for yourself. Have your physics PhD son perform it, he will tell you it is trivial to do (if he is competent at all).”
Since your proposal defies all written science why would I set about another experiment that would only prove you wrong.
LOL ask an actual physicst. Your belief is 100% the opposite of reality, and your utter dedication to something you cannot prove yourself is why you learn nothing.
“LOL ask an actual physicst. “
Why? According to you physicists pray. to fake science!
Just go away, dude. Enjoy your ignorance.
“Just go away, dude. Enjoy your ignorance.”
According to you, you are the only source of truth yet you. provide no explanation of your truth!
You have no intention of being honest, now go away before I report you for harassment.

Just replying to your posts to me! Be honest!
